The UTA CARES Grant Program, sponsored by UTA Libraries, was established in 2017 to support open education. In 2019, UTA Libraries awarded a UTA CARES Adoption Stipend to Dr. Ashley Lemke, Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at UTA. The project proposal submitted by Dr. Lemke states: "Introduction to Archaeology is a fundamental course taught each semester which introduces students to the study of prehistory and past human cultures. The students in this course would benefit greatly from zero cost materials as a textbook is required; previous students in this course have told me they have been unable to purchase the book. There is currently no completed, open access textbook for this course or topic available so I propose to work with the Social Sciences Librarian Brooke Troutman to create an open access book in PressBook format of openly licensed materials and original content." A Pressbooks version of the OER resulting from this project is available at https://uta.pressbooks.pub/introtoarchaeology/.
