Archaeology - the study of past people through the things they left behind - teaches valuable critical thinking skills, promotes creativity, and makes history tangible and exciting. Our educational resources bring local archaeology right to your classroom! These lessons share more about how archaeologists learn more about the past and engage students with Gulf Coast history.

We're in the process of developing new educational resources. We've made educational kits available for check-out at the Mobile County Public School System district office, as well as at several other organizations throughout the state. If you're interested in hosting a teacher training, having an archaeologist visit your classroom, or learning about other educational opportunities, please reach out to CAS Public Outreach Coordinator Rachel Hines at rhines@southalabama.edu for more information.
