Tapia, Emily McClung de
2002 A First Look at Public Outreach in Mexican and Guatemalan Archaeology. The SAA Archaeological Record, 2(2): 27-29, Society for American Archaeology
This article is about how to improve public opinion of archaeology in Mexico and Guatemala through outreach and education. The author discusses different "publics" and she bases her conclusions about education on interviews with various professionals. The important questions to consider in outreach and education are: (1) What does the public want/need?; (2) How can knowledge be communicated?; and (3) How can sites be protected when they have such a close relationship with tourism and the economy?

Deutsch, Warren N.
1976 A Non-Lecture Classroom Approach to Teaching Archaeology. Council on Anthropology and Education Quarterly , 7(1): 42-43, American Anthropological Association
This article discusses teaching anthropology at the introductory college level though the use of an "archaeology kit." The kit allows students to gain archaeological experience and to learn interpretation though data such as, maps, artifact replicas, photographs, and reports, rather than through the physical dig. The article provides syllabus information, including citations to the course texts and outlines the student responsibilities for the course. Although the activities are geared to college students, the lessons can easily be adapted and used in High School introduction courses.

1999 Adult Education and Outreach. Society for Historical Archaeology Newsletter, 32(3): 5-6, Society for Historical Archaeology
The article discusses workshop development for adult volunteers on archaeological sites in Annapolis, Maryland. The workshop was created because the volunteer program was not specialized by skill or age, children and adults were doing the exact same thing, and the adults were growing bored with the lack of learning. The workshops now involve adult volunteers in the interpretation process, not just screening for artifacts.
