Many of these organizations maintain lists of books, lesson and activity plans, videotapes, posters, and other resources available for educators. SAA's Public Education Committee also produces publications for teaching archaeology. The Public Education Committee also is initiating a monograph series geared for educators. The monographs will contain information on archaeological topics and information on how to incorporate those topics into K-12 classrooms. Educators can find regional and local resources through local archaeological societies and archaeologists working within their state and local governments.
Several states organize archaeology week celebrations.
During these events educators can find many archaeological programs and resources geared toward both the general public and educators. For more information on these events, individuals can contact their state historic preservation office or state archaeologist. The Society for American Archaeology also supports a network of State and Provincial Archaeology Education Coordinators. These coordinators from throughout North America can provide information on archaeological programs and activities in their areas. By using local resources and examples, educators can place their local history and culture into the larger world context.
