one-week workshops for 50 community college faculty on Ohio's prehistoric American Indian cultures, as well as archaeological methods and theory.

The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Landmarks in American History Workshops for Community College Faculty will fund two workshops in the summer of 2006. Each workshop will host twenty-five community college faculty from across the nation. The goal of the workshops is to strengthen faculty’s historical understanding of American Indian cultures in North America by increasing participants access and use of OHS archaeology, natural history and history collections, sharpening skills related to material culture analysis, developing a familiarity with related historic sites and creating sound foundation in the available content knowledge.
