Archaeology in the Community


  • Mission

    Archaeology in the Community (AITC) is an educational organization dedicated to fostering a greater connection between the public and the field of archaeology. AITC is a network of archaeologists, anthropologists, teachers, and volunteers working together to promote a greater understanding of archaeology’s important role—presenting all citizens with a greater knowledge of their past. Our educational and outreach endeavors make archaeology accessible to youth, schools/colleges, community members and community organizations though creative programs and community projects.

    About Us

    Archaeology in The Community (AITC) is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to revealing the various ways in which archaeologists uncover the secrets of the past. We work with students, helping them to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills that have applications far beyond a career in archaeology. We bring archaeological expertise to communities in a clear and meaningful way, and share not only the mystery and excitement of archaeology, but the practical skills we use every day to uncover the hidden pasts in a variety of settings. We aim to educate, inspire, and illuminate through a shared exploration of history’s mysteries.
