The Texas Foundation for Archaeological & Historical Research
About TFAHR
Since 1985 TFAHR has been providing opportunities
for teachers, students and volunteers to participate
in archaeological excavations abroad.
Through the generosity of numerous individuals and
organizations, TFAHR has been able to sponsor digs
in Israel, Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia, and
France. TFAHR has prepared publications for all
excavated sites, which feature photos, site plans and
pottery drawings; teachers involved in the projects
have contributed articles and drawings to these
publications, some of which are now being used as
archaeology texts in the countries where we have
worked. Important finds from the sites are on display
in local and national museums.
Since 2007, TFAHR has expanded its summer
program into an International Field School, open to
participants of all nationalities. The 2007 to 2009
TFAHR International Field Schools in Macedonia have
served over 90 teachers, students and volunteers from
16 countries.
In addition to the Foundation’s archaeological
excavations, the Foundation has an ongoing Photo
Archive Project. The aim of the photo archive project is
to gather together in one place images of famous and
for teachers, students and volunteers to participate
in archaeological excavations abroad.

historically important cities, archaeological sites, buildings, paintings, ceramics and statues. To
achieve this aim the Foundation has sponsored historical study and photographic field trips
overseas for teachers, to Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, France, and Greece. A new resource for
teacher and students is the TFAHR Historic Images series, video slide shows created using
TFAHR Photo Archive content. The first set of videos is available here.
Having gained invaluable experiences on TFAHR projects, many of the participating teachers
bring ideas back to their classrooms to make history and science come alive. One such project is
the "Tell Ubivis" mock dig, where TFAHR archaeologists and volunteers, in conjunction with a
school, build an excavation site on campus and direct its excavation by students. A report on the
Tell Ubivis Project can be found in the September 2007 TFAHR Publication .
