In our year-long quest to uncover American History, we began our Social Studies unit by holding an archaeology dig. Students dug in quadrants, as teams. As they uncovered artifacts, they recorded where in their quadrant they were found and took photos of each artifact. Back in the classroom, they are putting together the clues to determine what type of civilization they might have found. One goal of this activity is to teach that many of our ideas of early cultures comes from fragramented clues.
