Archeology Education at Fort Frederica
Each year, over 1,000 fourth grade students participate in an award-winning archeology program at Fort Frederica. This is a curriculum-based education program created and administered since 1994 by a partnership between Ft. Frederica National Monument and the Glynn County School System and Board of Education.
Teachers instruct students in the history of the 18th century fort and town of Frederica, and in the methodology of historical archeology. After a series of in-class sessions, these groups participate in an archeological dig at Ft. Frederica. The artifacts are taken to a laboratory, where the students identify and classify them. A classroom at Oglethorpe Elementary School is dedicated and equipped as an archeology laboratory.
