Watch the PAAC Lecture Series: Exposing Hoaxes, Busting Myths, & Solving Mysteries 

Archaeology helps us answer the mysteries of the past. But what about those mysteries that sound too good to be true? Is there evidence that giants existed? Are Archaeologists hiding information about ancient aliens? Did Vikings visit El Paso County? Dr. Ken Feder, Professor Emeritus at Central Connecticut State University, will address all of those questions and more in this ten-part lecture series.

"...It was a fascinating deep dive into myths, hoaxes, and pseudoarchaeology... This was a fantastic introduction to the series, and I'm eager to see which myths and mysteries will be unraveled next." -Janey M., PAAC Participant
 

Watch the PAAC lecture series: Historical Archaeology with Dr. Holly K. Norton

In November 2024, History Colorado’s Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification (PAAC) offered a two-day Historical Archaeology Workshop. The online recordings of this workshop provide valuable insights into the field of historical archaeology from a leading expert, Colorado State Archaeologist, Dr. Holly K. Norton. Viewers will be introduced to historical archaeology, a brief history of the subfield, the identification and analysis of major artifact types such as ceramics and glass, and applications of these methods in a case study of El Pueblo/Fariss Hotel site.
