Archeological Thinking

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Sixth graders review the differences between a historian and archaeolgists. At a recent archaeological dig site, they examine the artifacts and determine their usage. In groups, they are given a bag full of artifacts and write down what it is made of and where they might have been found. They share their findings with the class to complete the activity.
