Excavating

This section of the site is designed for classroom teachers, educators outside the classroom (environmental educators, museum educators, home schoolers, etc.) and parents looking for information for their children and youth.  

 

Teacher Memberships

For the past several years MVAC, in an effort to support teachers as they include archaeology in their classrooms, has offered a teacher membership for $25. Teacher members receive notification of matching funds opportunities and student scholarship information, as well as MVAC publications throughout the year and notices of upcoming events. Teacher members also have the opportunity to participate in special member events such as: special site tours, opportunity to meet speakers after lectures, invitations to the Annual Reception and the opportunity to participate in member laboratory work days. Use the attached MVAC Teacher Membership Form to become a member today!
