Why Archaeology is a Great Teaching Tool

Archaeology is a wonderful medium for enticing students to learn because it is exciting, adventurous, and mysterious. It is the perfect vehicle for educators because its multidisciplinary nature allows it to address many of the Quality Core Curriculum objectives mandated by the state of South Carolina and Georgia, including visual arts, science, English and Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies. It improves students' skills in logic, interpretation, research, and problem solving while enabling students to become aware and tolerant of other cultures, work together in groups, improve self-confidence, and actually discover that learning can be fun! (Archaeology in the Classroom By Teachers for Teachers, 1992).
