THEN has initiated an annotated bibliography project. The Annotated Bibliography is a searchable database of heritage education references for professionals as well as a listing of resources for educators and the general public. The Annotated Bibliography contains books, journals, magazines, newsletters, classroom materials, videos, blogs, and websites.
While accessible and usable by members and nonmembers, only members of THEN may contribute to the Annotated Bibliography. If you would like to contribute, please join THEN under the appropriate membership category. The resource entry form is located in the Members Only section of the website.

Edwards-Ingram, Ywone
1997 Toward “true acts of inclusion”: The “here” and the “out there” concepts in public archaeology. Historical Archaeology, 31(3): 27-35, Springer International
This article focuses on addressing issues in public education in two areas: general practice and African-American archaeology. The "here" is defined as professionals, while "out there" is the general public. The author suggests that the archaeologist must understand the various publics they encounter, and how each interpretation may differ based on cultural and ethnic values.

Rice, Patricia C.
1985 Using a Simulated Site to Teach Data Analysis in Archaeology. Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 16(4): 301-305, Wiley
The article describes a hands-on educational approach to teaching archaeology to undergraduate students. A simulated site was constructed to teach field methods within a laboratory setting. The article includes how the site was constructed, taught, and an evaluation. Although the activities are geared to college students, the lessons can easily be adapted and used in High School introduction courses.

1985 Using a Simulated Site to Teach Data Analysis in Archaeology. Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 16(4): 301-305, Wiley
The article evaluates the use of a simulated site to teach archaeological principles and data analysis in the college classroom. The simulated site is a constructed box, similar to a shoe box dig, containing artifacts and deposits similar to a real site. The project outlines the archaeological process, including the excavations, the artifact analysis, and a final site report.
