PROJECT ARCHAEOLOGY
Project Archaeology (ProjectArchaeology.org) is an education program jointly sponsored by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Montana State University, The Watercourse. The ultimate goal of this program is to educate students to take responsible and thoughtful actions towards our archaeological heritage. Our national lands contain a remarkable and important record of past cultures, but this fragile record is increasingly threatened, The problem is widespread, occurring throughout the United States (and the world), and affecting all kinds of cultural resources from ancient ruins to historic ghost towns. A primary means of reversing this trend is through education, and actively reaching out to schoolchildren.
