Parent participants
A critical component in the success of the Waterwild archeology program is the student's parents, who have performed a variety of functions on site. They have supervised students performing all the tasks necessary in an ongoing excavation, from digging in units to screening and labeling bags. The parents have helped organize the field day, provided student transportation, and have even provided hungry crewmembers much needed snacks. A surprising and enjoyable byproduct of the educational program for the children, is the interest in the excavation displayed by parents. Many of the parents have been so enthusiastic about digging that children in the test unit were relegated to watching! The parent's presence on site has reinforced the educational message to cherish our past, and has served to cement the student's relationship with their state's history.
