This article describes 40 years of public education and outreach for archaeology, focusing on the Center for American Archaeology-a non-profit organization created in 1958 that was dedicated to archaeology education.

2007 Challenges in Teaching Prehistory and Evolution in Kenya. AnthroNotes, 28(2): 6-9, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History Department of Anthropology
In this article, the authors discuss the importance of teaching prehistory and evolution to pre-college students in Kenya. Not only would an early introduction to the material later lead to graduates who are educated in the area, but increased awareness of the past would also help to protect sites and foster national pride. The authors explain difficulties that teachers face, including textbooks that report different facts about evolution and difficult questions raised by students. The article then describes a workshop, convened by the Prehistory Club of Kenya, in which experts discussed how best to communicate information to students and how to provide teachers with accurate materials.

Smith, Monica L.
2014 Citizen Science in Archaeology. American Antiquity, 79(4): 749-762, Cambridge University Press
The article covers the concept of citizen science, a crowdsourcing volunteer program, to collect large data sets for pattern analysis. The program is used heavily in fields of biology, geography, and astronomy, though web-based interfaces. Archaeology can utilize the concept of citizen science though field schools, community projects, site stewardship, and partnership development with avocational and professional archaeologists.
