Plumley, Lisa E.
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.

Newell, Gillian E.
1999 American and Mexican Archaeology: Differences in Meaning and Teaching. SAA Bulletin, 17(5): 29-31 (Available on-line. Page numbers in citation relate to print copy.), Society for American Archaeology
This article compares college-level education in archaeology in the United States and Mexico. The author describes how the Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology in the United States is a general introduction to the different fields of anthropology with an emphasis on academic archaeology. In Mexico, students specialize in archaeology or other fields of anthropology and receive intensive training, with an emphasis on service to the state and communication of information to the public. The author describes the historical context in which these educational systems developed and questions how we can improve educational programs using this international comparison.
