The Plan explores the meaning of archaeology and reveals facts relating to the Civil War in Georgia. The featured archaeological site is Nash Farm Battlefield, in Henry County near McDonough. The largest cavalry charge in the history of Georgia happened here in 1864. Classroom activities include suggestions for making hardtack or other foods consumed by soldiers and using copies of historic Civil War photographs to consider the archaeological sites the people and material culture in the images would have left behind.]]> http://thesga.org/2011/06/get-your-copy-of-the-2011-lesson-plan/feed/ 0 http://thesga.org/2010/09/how-do-we-decode-the-past/ http://thesga.org/2010/09/how-do-we-decode-the-past/#comments Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:00:46 +0000 sammy http://thesga.org/?p=6267 The long version of this story introduces a multipage online presentation by the Smithsonian Institution called "Decoding the Past: The Work of Archaeologists" (with lesson plans). This raises issues of how to envision the past so that you can reveal patterns, rhythms, and cycles that it encompasses. French historian Fernand Braudel's tri-partite division of the rhythms of the past are introduced.]]> http://thesga.org/2010/09/how-do-we-decode-the-past/feed/ 0 http://thesga.org/2010/04/2010-lesson-plan-now-available-online/ http://thesga.org/2010/04/2010-lesson-plan-now-available-online/#comments Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:05:55 +0000 sammy http://thesga.org/?p=5543 The Society for Georgia Archaeology proudly presents this year's lesson plan for teachers and other interested parties! The theme SGA has chosen for Georgia Archaeology Month 2010 is Making the Past Come to Life! Exploring Ancient Techniques. We hope that the readers of this lesson plan will become familiar with a range of skills and techniques used by the early inhabitants of Georgia, and perhaps better understand the dynamic interaction between the natural environment and humans and their culture.]]> http://thesga.org/2010/04/2010-lesson-plan-now-available-online/feed/ 0 http://thesga.org/2010/02/fpan-provides-teacher-resources-online/ http://thesga.org/2010/02/fpan-provides-teacher-resources-online/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:11:08 +0000 sammy http://thesga.org/?p=5018 The Florida legislature established the Florida Public Archaeology Project in part to do outreach. Among the materials they have posted online are books of hands-on archaeology activities for teachers. Although FPAN is oriented toward Florida, many of their activities can be used or adapted for use in Georgia classrooms. The books are free and downloadable.]]> http://thesga.org/2010/02/fpan-provides-teacher-resources-online/feed/ 0 http://thesga.org/2009/04/2009-lesson-plan-now-available/ http://thesga.org/2009/04/2009-lesson-plan-now-available/#comments Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:24:33 +0000 sammy http://thesga.org/?p=2746 For each of the last twelve years, the SGA has produced a Lesson Plan in coordination with Archaeology Month.
