Introduction to Archaeology For Kids

What do archaeologists do, exactly? If dinosaurs and rocks come to mind, this is the presentation for you!

Introduction to Underwater Archaeology for Kids

Archaeologists work in a variety of settings, and underwater is one of the “coolest,” literally and figuratively!

Precontact Pottery for Kids

Students learn about the advent of pottery in Florida, and do hands-on experimentation using play-doh or air-dry clay to explore pottery-making and decorating technology.

Shipwreck on a Tarp

Archaeologists don’t just work on land; they also try to learn about past people through the things they left behind underwater!

Atl-atl Antics (outdoors only)

In this program, kids get an introduction to archaeology and the chance to try a prehistoric hunting tool, the atl-atl, for themselves!
