Abstract	Archaeology is a highly interdisciplinary field. Its main goal is to construct culture histories, but it uses many scientific methods in the process. Ethical dilemmas inherent in archaeology make it a good vehicle for teaching ethics and character in the classroom (Moe 2000). The interdisciplinary nature of the field makes it possible to weave ethics and character throughout the curriculum, using archaeology as a theme. Recognizing the potential of archaeology to teach ethics in a meaningful way, Utah Project Archaeology, the Utah State Office of Education, and the Utah Museum of Natural History formed the Ethics and Archaeology Partnership to explore ways to use archaeology to teach ethics, character, and citizenship in a series of professional development opportunities for Utah educators in grades K-12. This article describes the partnership and the lessons learned by participants. (ERIC).
