Florida
Gulf Coast University’s Anthropology Program (B.A.). This website
describes the only program in the Southwest Region currently offering
an anthropology degree. This growing program is located at the main
campus in Fort Myers. Students gain experience during field trips
in the local area, ethnographic opportunities in Latin America, and
internships they set up with organizations throughout this region.
Recent student internships have been with the Bonita Springs Historical
Society, the Randell Research Center, and the Ah Tah Thi Ki Museum.
This program is part of the Department of Marine and Ecological Sciences,
and Dr. Michael McDonald is the chair of this program. www.fgcu.edu/CAS/Anthropology/index.html

Native Americans. These are available online at websites of the Florida
Museum of Natural History. Inquiry boxes containing materials teachers

artifact replicas, and maps) are available for schools to request.
These can be brought by museum staff, or can be picked up by educators.

back issues are in pdf format for downloading (most of this list’s

Society
for Georgia Archaeology http://www.thesga.org
Even though this is not a Florida-based organization, we share a lot
of commonalities regarding the archaeological record. They have two
publications of particular interest – Used Archaeology and Frontiers
in the Soil. Used Archaeology is an issue of their publication Early
Georgia that contains narratives and wonderful lesson plans.
It is downloadable from thesga.org/arch_classroom.htm.
They also have a link on their homepage to purchase a copy of Frontiers
in the Soil, a book and teacher’s guide for use in a classroom
setting ($24 for both). Along with detailed information and cartoon
illustrations, it also provides activities that reinforce archaeological
concepts. |
