Abstract
This paper discusses about archaeological education programs for the primary and secondary schools using “ongoing” excavation site which have been conducted at the Rebun island in 2013. The international archaeological research project at the Hamanaka 2 site of the Rebun island aims not only to study a dynamism of history and culture there through material analysis but also to involve local people and the Ainu people into our project in scheme of Public archaeology and Community archaeology. This archaeological education program was organized together with the board of education of the Rebun town and 4 primary and secondary schools. Its goals are to (1) promote understanding archaeology and natural anthropology through experience of ongoing excavation site, (2) assist understanding local history that primary and secondary schools of the island are teaching at comprehensive school hours, (3) call an attention for protecting local heritage.
