Following on from the success of 2011, we are happy to announce that this year’s Day of Archaeology is scheduled for June 29, 2012! Last year’s event brought out 400+ archaeologists, and almost 450 separate posts including lots of photos, video, audio and more. You can read more about the Day of Archaeology at About the Project, but the general hope is that by raising awareness about the truly diverse nature of archaeology, we will also in turn emphasize the vital role that archaeology plays in preserving our past for everyone’s future.
So please join us in publicizing this year’s event at all of your institutions, social media outlets, conferences, local societies, watering holes and the like!
The Day of Archaeology: A day in the life of [a whole lot of] archaeologists.
Have you ever wondered what archaeologists really get up to?Is it all just digging or is there a lot more to it?
