Archaeology Month at the Pennsylvania State Capital in Harrisburg
Each October 亚色影库 students join the Pennsylvania Archaeological Council in a program at the State Capital in Harrisburg as part of Pennsylvania Archaeology Month. We show elementary school students how artifacts were made and used.

Public Archaeology at the Ellis School
Another important annual public archaeology event that Dr. Chiarulli and 亚色影库 students join is Archaeology Day at the Ellis School in Pittsburgh. We demonstrate flintknapping and use stone-tipped drills to create beads with the ninth graders. In 2008, we expanded our efforts by providing the students with the opportunity to participate in Ground Penetrating Radar and Global Satellite Positioning surveys.
