World Religions Lesson Plans Please note that with regard to lesson plans dealing with anthropology, archaeology, indigenous people, ancient civilizations, history, etc, there may be some cross-over and blurring of lines between the topics. For example, a lesson plan dealing with archaeology is automatically dealing with an anthropological subject. A lesson plan dealing with indigenous people is also automatically dealing with anthropology and any of them may, or may not, be dealing with history or ancient civilizations. While every attempt will be made to keep the topic lines as 'clean' as possible, be aware this may not always be possible. Appropriate grade or age levels are included with the lesson plans. The number of lesson plans available online for this topic are many. The following provides some idea of what is available and will hopefully be a good starting point.

Extractions: Back to Project Gallery Antiquity Vol 77 No 297 September 2003 Jody Steele Timothy Owen Archaeology is no longer a discipline solely for academics; instead it is a subject worthy of interest to even the youngest minds. Archaeology has been used as the primary educational tool in exciting and involving children in their local heritage and cultural issues in and around Adelaide, South Australia. Over the past two years 1222 school children aged between seven and fourteen have been directly involved in a number of 'hands on' historical archaeology projects. In addition to conscientious classroom study, it has become apparent that children can perform the most diligent on-site excavation work, providing contextual information that equals that from most undergraduate archaeology students. Schools archaeology Schools archaeology concerns the education of children regarding the methods, theories and practices of archaeology. Whilst many children will have encountered archaeology through television or a weekend trip, few will have experienced the joy of excavation and finding artefacts untouched for many hundreds of years. Establishment of a schools programme requires a number of fundamental basics: an archaeological site, school children and a small team of archaeologists willing to develop educational material concerning the history and material culture relative to the study site. With the minimum of expenditure it is possible to deliver a complete package that describes modern archaeology, site selection, excavation techniques, as well as artefact recovery and processing. Following these basic guidelines three schools programmes were implemented by the authors at Fern Avenue, Burra and Brighton.

Introduction To Archaeology: Teaching Statement Home Courses INTRODUCTION TO ARCHAEOLOGY Nancy White As mentioned,there were more ideas for special activities, which have been incorporated http://www.indiana.edu/~arch/saa/matrix/ia/ia03_stmt.html
Extractions: Tests and Assessments: Syllabus Teaching Statement 1. OVERVIEW AND APPROACH This course package is presented in a format that is intended to be useful for any potential instructors of the course. It is for an introductory archaeology class offered in the University of South Florida (USF) Department of Anthropology. It is aimed at the college sophomore or junior, anthropology major and non-major alike; it also attracts first and fourth-year students. The course is structured to include two basic areas of knowledge: (2) World prehistory and early history, emphasizing famous sites and important human systems and processes, such as the origins of culture, food production, and civilization. Many anthropology departments, or even different instructors in the same department, break down these two into separate courses; this can also be done with the two sections described here. Two textbooks are used, one covering each half of the course. At USF we are committed to the philosophy that anthropology must be both a scholarly pursuit and an applied, real-world discipline. This includes the perspective that all archaeology is public archaeology in some way or/and another. Thus the SAA effort to redesign the archaeology curriculum is a good fit for what we already aim to bring to the undergraduate in general and specifically for this course, which is usually the first time the student experiences archaeology.

Extractions: Archaeology is a good way to introduce children to the study of ancient history. They need to understand how we know what we know. If you don't believe everything the history books teach us, this is also a good way to show that historians can be wrong. For example, archaeologists used to believe cave paintings were religious, but they now wonder if some of the paintings are just art work. Maybe those early people were artists. There are many good children's books on the subject of archaeology, and good internet sites as well. Choose a book that not only tells you what an archaeologist does, but that also tells you stories of great archaeological finds. Bring the subject alive.

Extractions: Digging Up the Past A s you learned in " Thos. Jefferson, Slavemaster " archeologists such as Frasier Neiman, have uncovered numerous pits - often as large as baggage trunks - dug into the ground beneath slave quarters. Although some of these sub-floor pits may have served as root cellars, some also served as places where individuals stored valuables. By excavating these long buried pits, archeologists have uncovered a range of items that offers a glimpse into the lives of the quarters' inhabitants. Uncovering Artifacts In this activity, you'll work in a team to prepare a model of the ground beneath a slave's quarters. The model will include a sub-floor pit and an assortment of artifacts. Once the pit has been filled in and the artifacts covered, you'll exchange your model with another team of students. Then, you'll keep a log and record the positions of the items you unearth.
