North Roberts, Helena, Montana 59620-1202. Cover illustration: Montana projectile points drawn by Troy Helmick, Townsend, MT. FORWARD Welcome to the world of Montana archaeology! The Montana Archaeology Education Resource Catalog is a detailed listing of a wide variety of resources to help you in teaching archaeology and Montana prehistory in schools. Described here are curriculum packages, videos, exhibits, tours, speakers, and a host of friendly faces that can enrich you and your student 9s journey into Montana 9s past. The guide tells you about each resource and about how you can obtain it or more information about it. As more resources become known or are developed, they will be added to the Catalog. The emphasis in these resources is upon a first introduction to archaeology and what we have learned from archaeology about Montana prehistory, as well as in some cases, Montana history. As such, many of the materials described are intended for use with students in elementary and middle schools. However, as archaeology is often new to older students as well as adults, these resources can often be adapted for use with any age group. After all, I 9ve never met someone who wasn 9t interested in the past at all - young and old alike! It should be emphasized that these resources are about archaeology and reflect the archaeological approach to understanding the past. In Montana prehistory (10,000 B.C. - A.D. 1800) this past is also the heritage of Montana 9s modern Native American tribes. Archaeology is one way of knowing their ancient past - it is a scientific approach based on theories supported by artifactual evidence. Native American oral stories, tradition, and modern lifeways are also necessary, however, to understanding and appreciating Montana 9s Indian people and their history. As reflected in many of the resources described here, archaeologists often consult with Native Americans to better understand what ancient artifacts mean and how they may still be of importance to traditional people. In the same vein, teachers must also consider the wealth of other resources available, though not listed here, that can inform on Native American traditional lifeways, history, and current events. A good place to start, and one that is listed here among Montana Readings, is the Office of Public Instruction 9s handbook: Montana Indians: Their History and Location (1992) or the Council for Indian Education 9s annual listing of books approved by an inter-tribal editorial committee. If archaeology is one way of knowing the past, it is also one that continues to intrigue and fascinate. I hope you will enjoy your exploration into the world of archaeology - and that it will be informative and educational as well.
