Underwater Archaeology Museum - Online Teaching Resources

...Museum of Underwater Archaeology (MUA). The MUA was created to encourage underwater archaeologists to use the Internet to share their research with the general public. Since our founding in 2004 avocational, graduate student, and professional archaeologists from around the world have used our site for public outreach and education. This includes full scale exhibits, brief reports, and online project diaries written by graduate students participating in field schools.
...As we can not travel to every school we recently created a kit that we are now making available to educators from around the world that allows teachers to conduct a hands on training session on underwater archaeology. It includes a CD with ten documents including a lesson plan that guides the teacher through the exercise.
...Our first two paths, for ages 10-12 and 16-17, are now online.
...the entire site which contains exhibits and posts on projects in the United States, Japan, the UK, Australia, and France.
