Weston Middle School - MA is alive with action this week as 6th graders participate in a real excavation behind the school. They are learning how archaeological excavations can uncover evidence that pieces together a story of the people who lived here in the past. It's one piece of the history puzzle!

During the first two years of its existence, Archaeology 4 Schools has reached over 3,500 students in more than 160 classrooms in 17 cities and towns! They have participated in authentic, hands-on learning experiences that are aligned with the MA curriculum standards. Along with building historic and civic literacy, students are developing scientific thinking in a real-world context and gaining new respect for diverse cultures. These students will be more likely to support preservation of our cultural heritage in the future, which is a win for everyone.
It's interesting to think that our future is also buried in our past - at least mine is.

Day 2 at Lincoln Elementary in Town of Wi******er, MA! Fourth grade students learn how important it is to document a site during an excavation, and they became adept at measuring and recording the artifacts they found. And with at least four early 19th century houses across the street, artifacts were plentiful! These artifacts enabled us to put together a story about what was happening and who was living here then.

Have I finally reached rock star status?

When fourth graders say that it was the best activity of the year and want my autograph (even on rocks when there's no paper), I know that I've provided memories that will last a lifetime. And to do it while meeting the history/social science standards? Icing on the cake.

Whether it's learning about Native American migration theories, mending pots, or excavating real artifacts, students learn that history and archaeology can be the most exciting and interesting subjects.
