This unit could not have been produced without helpful input from colleagues dedicated to archaeology outreach. We would like to thank Stephanie Varholak, who was a student intern in the Smithsonian’s Anthropology Outreach Office when this project got underway, for her insights and contribution to the initial drafts. To our colleagues in Project Archaeology who generously gave permission to include some of the materials from Intrigue of the Past and to the SAA’s Public Education Committee who provided encouragement and suggestions. To George Brauer, we are highly indebted for his guidance in structuring this unit and in his generosity in sharing some of his excellent educational materials that we, in turn, can share with teachers who like George want to give their students a challenging, stimulating, and learned experience in the field of archaeology.
