This publication contains two separate reports. Part I, the report of the Anthropology Curriculum Study Project (ACSP), is an accounting of the time, money, and human endeavor involved in curriculum development efforts toward a course in anthropology for the high school curriculum. The document includes four reports of ACSP staff members and nine appendices which provide information about the setting of the project, the processes by which ACSP worked, the results of the effort, and recommendations. The curriculum materials themselves are available from the Macmillan Company. The report of the Anthropology Curriculum Study Project Research Program is presented in Part II. The program described is intended to implement the use of curriculum materials in the course, Patterns in Human History, developed during the project. A study of the social organization of a project school, Section 1 - Ethnographic Studies, provides contextual data within which to interpret the cognitive studies reported in Section 2. Appendices contain sample tests used in the research and data tables. A related document is ED 062 263. (SHM)
