A great outreach opportunity for archaeologists! There are so many lego groups looking to speak to archaeologists this year!
Welp here we are again, fresh out of Archaeologists for Skype a Scientist matches.

This fall, we have matched 248 groups with Archaeologists for online Q&As. I have 38 more groups who need a match, but I'm out of Archaeologists!
