Jane Mohler and Quella Rutledge, both sixth-grade teachers at Thorntown Elementary School in Lebanon, participate in the three-day Project Archaeology at the 2005 Purdue University Archaeological Field School in Mulberry, Ind. Project Archaeology, a program sponsored by the Indiana State Museum, provides teachers an opportunity to learn more about archaeology. Purdue students are taught basic methods used in contemporary archaeology at the six-week field school.
