The following paper seeks to present the educational potential of archaeological excavations as secondary classroom settings for text-based students. The goal is to outline the concept of archaeological excavations, their educational benefits, and the ways in which the participation in such projects supports a range of additional benefits such as scholarly collaboration, social interconnection, and community connectivity. This paper also intends to present the nuances of such cross-disciplinary collaborations, as well as consider the real-world processes that are involved in the successful execution of such projects.
