COLLECTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM
The Wesleyan University Archaeology and Anthropology Collections provide a unique opportunity for students and volunteers to learn from hands-on experience with material culture. Objects from the collection have been incorporated into classroom teaching, have been the foci of Senior Honors Theses, and have been the bases for independent study projects. This page provides links to a growing suite of projects developed for or adapted to digital presentation.
