Why celebrate Archeology? For the sheer fun of it! If you want
to learn about archeology, give an excavation a try, or just
connect with others who share an interest in the past, a great
way to start is by participating in National Archeology Day.
Activities may include hands-on work at an excavation or in a
lab, museum programs, ranger-led tours of archeological sites in
parks, and much more. Your state may also celebrate its own
archeology day, week, or month. Go to the Society for American
Archaeology's state archaeology month resource page to find
contact information and web links for programs across the
nation. You can also visit lots of archeological sites and
museums all year round. Explore Visit Archeology for some ideas
for your trip. To learn more online before you go: To learn how
