Archaeology in Action

Submitted by Carrie.pingel on

Chelsie's Anthropology class went searching for artifacts. Their assignment was to use the correct tool to facilitate the excavation of multiple layers of sand and soil. The students then map their findings on a grid of their worksite. Some of the artifacts included axes, skeletons, and even a watering can.
