The SGA is very proud of drawing upon volunteer resources, donations from generous supporters, and creative exhibit ideas, particularly from Chief Tender Rita Elliott, to create, launch, and staff our ArchaeoBus.

Recently, Rita discovered that an important center of ancient civilization, ITALY’s Rome, has an archeobus—yes, spelled with only one ‘a’ and no capital letters on the outside of their bus.

Theirs is to haul tourists around; ours promotes archaeology in Georgia and educates visitors. After all, the ArchaeoBus is Georgia’s Mobile Archaeology Classroom!

The SGA strongly suspects, however, that OUR ArchaeoBus came first!
