TALLAHASSEE, FLA. - The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), University of West Florida will be conducting a workshop on August 4, 2012 from 9am to 12 noon, which will introduce educators to archaeology and demonstrate how it can be used in the classroom and incorporated into the existing curriculum.
