Students will learn the basics of archeology. A park ranger and archeologist will discuss what a career in archeology looks like. Students can interact with basic tools of the trade and some artifacts found in the villages. If schedules allow, students can tour through an active dig onsite (please contact the park to determine if a dig will occur during the school year).
