1999     Precollegiate Excavations: Archaeologists Make the Difference. SAA Bulletin, 17(1): 15-17 (Available on-line. Page number in citation relate to print copy.), Society for American Archaeology
This article discusses excavation as a means to get the public, precollegiate students specifically, involved in archaeology and the protection of sites. Hawkins states that the Louisiana Division of Archaeology (LDA) has found that the best results come from direct instruction from archaeologists, so she discourages real and simulated excavations in schools without the supervision of a qualified archaeologist. Hawkins discusses several projects of the LDA in detail.
