The history of the Australian people extends to at least 65,000 years ago; of this long and diverse history, only 0.4% is recorded in written records. Archaeology – the excavation, analysis and interpretation of material culture from the past – therefore plays an integral role in understanding our national story. Utilising experiential ‘hands on’ and object-based learning, our incursion and excursion programs help students and teachers to better understand this exciting discipline.
Developed by archaeologists in close collaboration with primary and secondary teachers, our curriculum-linked incursion and excursion programs are suitable for primary, secondary and VCE students. Each program is supported by a comprehensive resource package for teachers, including lesson plans, teacher’s notes, glossary and worksheets.
