Archaeology And Prehistoric Mississippi Prior to the lesson on archaeology and prehistoric times, lesson plans have been developed to use along with the artifacts and resources contained in http://teacherexchange.mde.k12.ms.us/mhnlp/archaeologylp.htm
Extractions: OVERVIEW Archaeology is a growing field today because of the high level of interest in the field and because of laws that prevent construction projects from destroying an accidentally discovered site until studied or evaluated by an archaeologist. It is essential for members of our society to be knowledgeable about the field of archaeology and its ability to help us understand the past. As we continue to develop our natural environment, archaeology will be called upon to help evaluate undiscovered historic sites. The field of archaeology can help us develop not only an appreciation for the past as well as the present, but also evaluate the need for future change. Mississippi Studies Framework: Competencies 1, 3 and 4.

Extractions: What factors caused the native people to lose their power to the Europeans? Note: This is a large topic that involves multiple factors. The risk of only teaching one or two "sample" factors would be students believing that these are THE factors and there are no other relevant causes. It is important therefore to be prepared to commit sufficient time to this unit to address a broad range of issues. The following are some of the key factors worth consideration: Smallpox decimated native communities and led to massive depopulation. Non-native settler population grew dramatically - particularly during the goldrush Land pre-emption allowed settlers to survey and occupy 'uninhabited' land. Native population was large but very widely spread out making resistance to European settlers difficult. Language barriers made it very difficult for natives to negotiate with Europeans. How, for example, could they understand the implications of signing land agreements if they couldn't read English? Different value systems had significant implications. Natives, for example, did not hold the same notion of private land ownership as the Europeans.

Lesson Plans--Historic Jamestowne We are pleased to share with you the lesson plan packet for Historic Jamestowne. List of links pertinent to Historic Jamestowne and archaeology http://www.historicjamestowne.org/learn/lesson_plans.php
Extractions: Home Education Lesson Plans Dear Educators, We are pleased to share with you the lesson plan packet for Historic Jamestowne. As you know, the important story of Jamestown is part of the history of Virginia and ultimately the United States. It is important to understand the early stories of Jamestown, and to include the most current research brought about through the work of the APVA-Preservation Virginia and their archaeology project, Jamestown Rediscovery. Included here are several lesson plans that we hope will share our project with you and help add a new dimension to your classroom resources. Each lesson plan has been designed for a specific grade or two, but in the hands of a good teacher, any of these lesson plans can be adjusted for other grades to use. Archaeology is a fascinating tool to use with your students, and we hope we included enough background information for you to feel comfortable using these lesson plans. We have included a short power point "Archaeology 101" for teachers to use. Have your students experience some archaeological thinking with our interactive modules designed for Jamestown Rediscovery by clicking here: Interactive Exercises . You can also use the second short PowerPoint presentation, "The Archaeology of James Fort," included here to introduce your students to Jamestown Rediscovery. It will serve as a preliminary look before visiting us or will help in the classroom if you can not visit us at Historic Jamestowne.
