Wanted: Archeologists!
What do artifacts tell us about the people who lived in Virginia’s past?
 

Process

  1. First you will be assigned to work with a fellow archeologist.

  2. You and your partner will be sharing one computer.  

  3. You and your partner will “open” the time capsule, by clicking on the box below, and explore its artifacts.  Click on the small picture of each artifact to learn more about it or to see a larger picture of it.

  4. Next, your head archeologist will give you an Analysis Sheet on which you will carefully examine each artifact and answer the questions.

  5. Once you have finished your careful analysis raise your hand and the head archeologist will give you a Report Paper to record your findings and conclusions. 

  6. Follow the directions on the report paper to complete your assignment.

  7. Deliver your report to the head archeologist when it is completed.
