1986 Archaeology Education in Nigeria. West African Journal of Archaeology, 16: 147-153, Ibadan University Press
The article discusses the ignorance Nigerian youth have of archaeology and archaeological findings in Nigeria due to the lack of archaeological lessons in primary and secondary schools.

Thistle, Paul C.
2012 Archaeology Excavation Simulation: Correcting the Emphasis. Journal of Museum Education, 34(2): 67-77, Left Coast Press, Inc.
The article discusses the use of simulated digs in museum educational programs. The current use of these digs, the hide-and-seek mentality, where artifacts are hidden in sand and the students goal is to "find artifacts" is counterproductive to the teaching of archaeology. The paper suggests an emphasis on the precise methods archaeologists use to create a more realistic atmosphere for learning.
