On April 30th<\/sup>, UW-Milwaukee student Emerson Neczek led an archaeology curriculum event at Maryland Avenue Montessori School (Milwaukee Public Schools). This even was part of Emerson\u2019s Support for Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) project.<\/p>\n

Several UWM Archaeological Research Laboratory Center staff members were on hand to assist with the event. Students were shown how archaeologists map sites, categorize artifacts, and introduced to archaeological tools. In addition, students were shown how archaeologists and historians learn about the past through material culture and documentary evidence. The students even spent time investigating the history of their school and the surrounding Milwaukee neighborhood.<\/p>\n
