One of our homeschool courses this year is Archaeology, for Max, my 10th grader. She has been very interested in archaeology for some time now and has already read some of our source materials. Now we have discovered the Greater St. Louis Archaelogical Society and will be heading to a quarterly meeting this week that just happens to be at our neighborhood library. Max is also taking MODG Ancient History/Literature which goes nicely with this. Although our Archaeology course is still taking shape, here are the basics:
