Throughout time, societies have faced the problem of what to do with their garbage. Crissy Field has a vast and interesting collection of artifacts from Ohlone-era items and rubble from the 1906 earthquake to military landfill. As they participate in hands-on activities in the Presidio Archeology Lab, students learn how archeologists help uncover the past. At the Crissy Field Center, students study decomposition in miniature landfills, consider the impact of their own garbage on the environment, and discuss alternatives for reducing waste. Their experience culminates when students use recycled materials to create journals in which they can reflect on their park visit. This program is co-sponsored by the Presidio Archeology Lab, a partnership of the Presidio Trust and the National Park Service.
