Archaeology Unit - Phase II



Eighth Grade Ancient History Scholars Make Inferences about "Rescued" Artifacts!
After creating their own unique civilization and creating artifacts representing their culture's universals, the students received a box of "found" artifacts and after measuring, drawing, and cataloging each artifact, they gave their best interpretations of the culture which produced the artifacts.  There were many discussions about the evidence left behind, and some of the languages were very difficult to decipher.

You can visit the "Museum of Unique Treasures" in the Middle School Library next week to see the inferences they made.
