Let's Have Our Own Archaeological Dig

What could be for fun than participating in your own Archaeology Dig?

Have an archaeology in your backyard to make learning come alive! I can't think of a better way to learn about archaeology than to do what archaeologists do. So much of what we know about Ancient Times comes from hard-working archaeologists laboring in the hot sun to unearth treasured artifacts that reveal one more thing about ancient times.

Parents and/or teachers can create a dig site with several layers like a Tell. Children and teens mark off a grid before they dig. Carefully, artifacts are unearthed and sent to the lab for examination. Does that sound fun? A little overwhelming? Don't worry. Meredith will take you step-by-step in planning and holding your own archaeological dig. Get ready to make some happy memories.
