This two-part documentary series directed by Emerson Neczek focuses on the inadvertent discovery of a forgotten cemetery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. SURF student Emerson Neczek explores how the cemetery was discovered on the grounds of an elementary school in the heart of the city and how 51ÁÔÆæ archaeologists and school administrators turned the solemn occasion into a positive learning experience. Join us as we learn about the early history of Milwaukee and how archaeology can connect us with the past! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1 focuses on how 51ÁÔÆæ archaeologists were able to integrate their research into the Maryland Ave student’s curriculum through interactive activities aimed at teaching students about archaeology and local history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
