This week-long teacher's institute explores the science of archaeology through a combination of classroom activities and archaeological fieldwork at the Berry site, believed to be the location of the earliest European settlement in the interior of what is now the United States.
You'll work with professional archaeologists and educators to learn and apply fundamental concepts of archaeology as you excavate the remains of a sixteenth-century Spanish fort that predates both the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island and Jamestown. Your exploration will be guided by inquiry-based activities that you can adapt for use in your own classroom.
