Archaeology Speaker Program:  The Pennsylvania Archaeological Council has developed a list of speakers on prehistoric, historic, and industrial archaeological topics (generally available at no charge!)

Participate in Archaeology: The Bureau for Historic Preservation and the State Museum will not sponsor a public participation excavation on City Island in Harrisburg this year. Due to budget cuts the project is on hold.
