Archaeology is a fascinating subject and the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) is committed to getting young people enthused about this area of human inquiry. This website contains useful lesson plans designed to bring the "fascinating material culture and methodological approaches of archaeology into their classrooms." The materials here are intended for use with K-12 students, but a number of them can be adapted to work with college students as well. Currently, there are over a dozen lesson plans and projects on the site. Visitors will find brief descriptions of each item and their goals. The titles covered include “Aztec Codex,” “A Greco-Roman Feast: Dining and Reclining,” and “Cargoes from Three Continents: Ancient Mediterranean Trade in Modern Archaeology.”
