About this Event
This talk presents an educational outreach program in Armenia focused on the full life cycle of archaeological artifacts. Since 2022, our 'From the Field to the Museum' program has found success through collaboration between our international expedition (the Ararat Plain Southeast Archaeological Project) and local organizations, especially the Armenian Heritage Development Foundation and the National Gallery of Armenia. During the past four field seasons, ninety children and ten teachers have engaged in hands-on heritage work at the Vedi Fortress excavation and the National Gallery. Over the course of four days, each group excavates on-site, conducts lab work, restores their finds, and creates an actual public museum exhibit. Our aim is to increase the accessibility of archaeological heritage and its presentation. Formal and informal assessment indicate that we are well on our way to achieving these goals.
