Nebraska Archaeology Month 2015!!

While this year's Nebraska Archaeology Month won't take place for another eight months or so (but who's counting?), planning is already underway and the Nebraska Archaeology Month 2015 Committee is looking for members! We need interested people who have the time, energy, and enthusiasm to help us match last year's success and exceed it. We need people willing to present on archaeology, people with organizational skills, and people with media/communication skills to tackle various tasks of planning and promoting the events. We are hoping to involve the archaeological community, including professionals, amateurs, and armchair enthusiasts from across the state.

Interested individuals should plan to attend a meeting at the Bennett Martin Public Library Auditorium on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at 1pm CST in Lincoln.

Unable to attend the meeting? If you or your organization would like to get involved with Nebraska Archaeology Month 2015, if you have an idea for an Archaeology Month event, or if you would simply enjoy having an event come to your area, let us know! You can email us at NebraskaArchaeologyMonth@gmail.com or leave us a message on Facebook!

If you are unable to help plan Nebraska Archaeology Month 2015, but would like to stay up to date on archaeology events in your area throughout the year, be sure to "Like" the Nebraska Association of Professional Archeologists and Nebraska Archaeology Month on Facebook!

2014 Nebraska Archaeology Month a Success!

Thanks to everyone who participated in Nebraska Archaeology Month 2014, whether by attending or helping to plan/coordinate events, displaying a Nebraska Archaeology Month poster, or simply by ‘catching the fever’ and following us on Facebook and/or here on our blog! We will be back soon with a new theme, a new poster, and a new set of events for Nebraska Archaeology Month in September 2015! Until then, we’d love to hear from you with your thoughts on any of this year’s events, posters, social media posts, etc! To give us your input, please email us at NebraskaArchaeologyMonth@gmail.com or leave us a message on Facebook!
