Job Archaeology Program

"Job Archaeology" is one of the educational programs offered by the PAST Foundation. Students excavate to find articles used in a specific profession, and based on that, make deductions about the people who use those tools. This activity teaches basic principle of archaeology, and gives students experience in related activities such as mapping their excavation units, recording detail, weighing available evidence and thinking critically about their discoveries.

	Students and families from the Gallatin Valley Home Educators of Bozeman, Montana excavate for evidence of specific jobs or professions.
	Students carefully excavate another unit.
