The Young Archaeologists’ Club is for middle-school aged youth interested in archaeology. Students will work with professional archaeologists and explore archaeological science through hands-on activities, crafts, and games. Participation is free, but registration is required.
The full schedule includes a rotation of eight in-person locations, one in each Ward of Washington, DC, and virtual options between March and August. At each location, there will be the same “Introducing Archaeology” session and a different special topic session. Families can choose dates, locations, and topics that work best for them. To register for special topics, students must have previously participated in Archaeology in the Community’s Young Archaeologists’ Club or will have participated in an “Introducing Archaeology” session by the time of the special topic session.
Zooarchaeology (Animals in the Past): Learn how archaeologists identify animal bones and how people and animals interacted in the past.
Space is limited, so register your middle-school student today!
