Lesson Plan Do you have a lesson plan for archaeology? The lesson plans are well constructed, easy to follow, and not necessarily culturally specific. http://www.digonsite.com/drdig/resources/14.html
Extractions: dig does include excellent archaeology projects. Some examples are: make rhubarb papyrus, conserve your own pot, create your own time capsule, and make a Maya ball court. Back issues of dig include important articles about "What is Archaeology?" and a great piece about "What is Underwater Archaeology?" dig articles not only make great reading for kids, but they become super exercises in reading comprehension if you pose them a series of relevant questions to answer for each article they read. For additional resources, I would contact the National Park Service, which may sponsor archaeology sites and projects in your area. In addition, the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management produces a really excellent set of lesson plans in archaeology called Intrigue of the Past. The lesson plans are well constructed, easy to follow, and not necessarily culturally specific. Each lesson includes objectives, materials, vocabulary, some background information, procedure, and evaluation. Activity sheets are photocopiable. There are 28 lessons in all, including the following: Observation and Inference, Chronology: The Time of My Life, It's in the Garbage, Gridding a Site, Artifact Classification, and Artifact Ethics. For information on how to acquire your own copy of Intrigue of the Past, contact:

Archaeology is the science that seeks to learn about past humans and their culture from the material remains that were left behind. Archaeology is not "treasure hunting," and involves much more than just finding and digging up those material remains or artifacts. Archaeologists try to tease out as much information as possible about the past from a small sample of sometimes poorly preserved or fragmentary material objects. Modern archaeologists may spend three or more times longer in the lab than they do in the field-trying to discover the meaning behind the artifacts they have found. This website will explore the whole process of archaeology, from the initial research and logistics to the final analyses and interpretations that bring the past to life and provided background information to support the Probability and Statistics on-line activity described below. Click here to enter The Process of Archaeology Probability and Statistics in Archaeology - Coming Soon This web page will provide an interactive way to explore an archaeological site, and learn how archaeologists learn about the past. When archaeologists start to work in the field, they have already gained a lot of information about the site. They have conducted background research into the landform and soils, into the historic use of the area, and can ask if anything has been found on the ground surface. (See

Archaeological Ethics And Law: Introduction To Lesson Plans In my experience, undergraduate archaeology majors are almost completely The lesson plans include the following categories. Title of lesson. http://www.indiana.edu/~arch/saa/matrix/ael/ael_mod_intro.htm
Extractions: Tests and Assignments: Introduction to Lesson Plans My course is divided into weekly topics. The class meets twice a week for 1.5 hours each time. I find it convenient to spend most of the first class each week presenting the topic in general terms and including the bulk of the factual material that needs to be covered. In the second class there is time for student presentations and discussion. But the distinction between the two classes is not a hard and fast one. The lesson plans include the following categories: I have incorporated into the content of the lesson plans the various class discussions, worksheets, and questionnaires that are used to elicit information or provoke discussion from the class. To capture some of the sense of the class discussions and student responses, I periodically include a section in square brackets called " [Notes for Instructors]." Occasionally when there are several of these I simply present the information in square brackets. I also include suggestions for questions to ask the students or topics of discussion. Lesson plans are provided for all classes listed in the syllabus with the following exceptions: The students were shocked to discover that no archaeologists, preservationists, or representatives of source countries were included in the symposium. In fact, I later learned from one of the graduate student organizers that they were deliberately excluded; also, some participants expressed a concern for security in case archaeologists attended (!). Audience comments and questions were controlled by having people write questions on index cards; some of these were then chosen by the student moderators and the questions presented to the panel. No audience discussion was permitted. Several of my students wrote cogent questions that were selected for reading.
Cultural Resources Archaeology: Introduction To Lesson Plans Cultural Resources Archaeology is intended for undergraduate archaeology and anthropology Each lesson plan contains a brief description of the module; http://www.indiana.edu/~arch/saa/matrix/cra/cra_intro.html
Extractions: To the Instructor The ideal instructor for this course is an archaeologist who is currently active in, or has extensive experience in, the actual practice of cultural resources archaeology. In addition, it is critical that the instructor have, or be able to get, copies of actual CRM materials, including requests-for-proposal (RFPs); proposals, contracts, and budgets; Phase I, II, and III reports; field forms; memoranda of agreement, etc. Structure of the Course I have designed a series of one- and two-week class modules totaling 15 weeks for the course (see Syllabus ). The topics and recommended duration of each module are as follows: Topic Module 1. Cultural Resources Archaeology in the U.S. 1 wk 2. Historical Survey of Legislation 1 wk 3. ARPA and the Federal Program 1 wk 4. Federal Mandates: NEPA and NHPA 2 wks 5. State and Local Programs 1 wk 6. Native Americans and CRM 2 wks 7. The Business of Archaeology 1 wk 8.

"Garbage-ology" is also featured (where one sees what trash reveals about a society). Site makes connections between what finished off these civilizations and the problems facing modern society; will history repeat itself? From Annenberg/CPB.
