Introducing Archaeology

Archaeology 101 is information about archaeology for pupils to read to be able to complete the Approved Archaeologist Assessment sheet, the word document is available for editing. Following successful completion they were awarded the certificate. We used this during a historical enquiry task, where pupils dug up objects from a sand box and had to complete the assessment to prove they understood how to be an archaeologist before digging around.
Information about archaeology taken from various websites including: http://digyork.com/what-is-archaeology/; http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/np/tools.html; http://www.lparchaeology.com/prescot/learning/what-tools-do-archaeologists-use.
