Archeology - Programs
The Kansas Historical Society offers several archeology programs.
The Kansas Archeology Training Program field school, held each June, offers a unique opportunity for members of the public to work alongside professional and avocational archeologists. Participants assist archeologists in surveying for archeological sites, excavating sites, and cleaning/cataloging artifacts in the lab.
The archeology site protection program is responsible for the maintenance of site files, which give information on the location and contents of the state's archeological sites. To date over 11,000 Kansas sites are recorded.
The Unmarked Burial Sites program protects unmarked burials in Kansas and the human remains and associated objects that come from them.
Project Archaeology is a project for the classroom. There different units were developed and are available for distribution to classrooms across the state. Each of the units consists of three parts: the student magazine, student journal, and teacher guide.
