Fagan, Brian M.
1977 Genesis I.1; Or, Teaching Archaeology to the Great Archaeology-Loving Public. American Antiquity, 42(1): 119-125, Cambridge University Press
The article discusses problems the archaeological discipline was facing in the 1970s regarding the public interest in archaeology. The public has been taking general introduction courses in archaeology, but has little understanding or interest in specialized training. The article describes information and methods for teaching an introduction course. Although the article pertains to collegiate students, the general history of archaeology education development is significant to note, and the advice given for developing an introductory course would be useful for high school courses.

Pettigrew, Richard
2015 Going Around (or Beyond) Major TV: Other Media Options to Reach the Public. The SAA Archaeological Record, 15(2): 38-39, Society for American Archaeology
In this article the author discusses how archaeologists can go beyond contacting the media about programming content and actually take control of media other than television to reach the public. He describes how the Archaeological Legacy Institute created 'The Archaeology Channel' website and how they managed to work around financial limitations. Developing and participating in this type of media project allows archaeologists to control the message and perspectives that the public receive.

Ur, Jason
2006 Google Earth and Archaeology. The SAA Archaeological Record, 6(3): 35-38, Society for American Archaeology
This article discusses the usefulness of Google Earth for archaeological research and use in the classroom. Students are better able to learn about archaeological sites and regions when they can see them in detail. The author also discusses the drawback of providing the public with such detailed information on the location of archaeological sites. The author poses the question "Is the benefit of public education greater than the risk of enabling damage to the very cultural resource in question?"
