Abstract

The activity scope of specialized excavation agencies has gradually expanded from salvation excavation and academic research activity-based excavation for specialists to a wide range of cultural projects for the public in recent years. Some of them participate in the Classroom for Archeological Experiences by the Cultural Heritage Administration as its implementation agency, running experiential activity programs based on excavation sites. Such programs present excavation sites as venues for archeological experiences and living history education to young students and have made visible achievements. The present study proposed six ideas to promote the further activation of experiential learning at excavation sites: first, the specialized excavation agencies themselves should form a consensus on the need for the utilization of excavation sites; second the public offering project using buried cultural properties should be expanded now; third they need to prepare programs linked to museums; fourth in order to solve the problem of the experience of the excavation field, it is necessary to operate the field simulation spot; fifth they need to organize experiential programs linked to the school curriculums; and finally, they should employ various ways of promotion to publicize their experiential programs according to their nature. The specialized excavation agencies can fulfill their ethical duties and perform their public interest-based social roles by analyzing the data produced out of excavation, carrying out restoration works to their original conditions, and facilitating the public's understanding of the past.
