Alaska Southeaster Magazine - Features We came away with a really good understanding of teaching archeologyto kids. Theresa real science to it, comments Fremin. http://www.alaskansoutheaster.com/archives/sept2001/kids-dig.html
Extractions: For instance, in Wrangell, it is not known whether Native people lived on the site of the present town prior to the arrival of the Russian fur trappers and traders who settled what was then called Fort Dionysius in the 1830s. Finding out that information was one purpose of an archeological dig carried out recently by pupils from Evergreen Elementary School. Another purpose was to immerse the kids in the muddy, hands-on business of excavating a part of what may have been, for some, their ancestral home. The school administrator contacted Wrangell museum curator Theresa Thibault, who said that the museum already holds some artifacts found at the location by a previous owner of the property. Thibault dug several test pits, which revealed a shell midden, a refuse heap from an earlier habitation. The midden may have belonged to the clan house of the Tee-hit-lan clan, which was pictured near the site in the book The Tlingit Indians by ethnographer George T. Emmons, who visited Wrangell in the late1800s. Thibault obtained grants from the local Nolan Trust, the National Park Service and the State of Alaska to excavate what is now an official state archeological site, the Fremin Midden. Thibault got a grant enabling archeologists to come to Wrangell to offer a two-day training session for local school staff prior to the dig. Both pupils and their teachers learned that archeology is in no way related to treasure hunting. An artifact without its precise location, surrounding soils and neighboring objects is worthless in terms of scientific knowledge gained.

ARCHEOLOGY from the Smithsonian Institution. Gander Academy archeology page forkids Definitions and activities included! Some teachers like http://www.mtsu.edu/~then/Archeology/page5.html
Extractions: The following activities are designed as primers to teach the analytical skills archaeologist use in interpreting artifacts at sites. Use these exercises and the additional links that provide others to introduce the basics of archeology, and develop critical thinking skills, teamwork, and writing abilities. After one or all of these activities have been completed the students should learn about the archeology of their state or the local area. The links page has the web address of all the state archeology offices. Through them the teacher (and students) can find out about archeological excavations being carried out in their area. Some teachers like to make what is known as a "box dig" for their students to learn about archeology. The teacher puts different color soils in a box and hides "artifacts" in the layers. This teaching method can work, but it has the problem of relaying the message that archeology is only about digging and not learning about the past by studying the artifacts. If you choose to do a box dig with your class be sure to talk about what happens to the artifacts after they are recovered. Archeologists generally spend three hours in the lab for every hour they spend in the field. We clean and identify the artifacts, then analyze them to determine what they tell us about people in the past. Students should recognize the fact that archeology is not only about digging, but learning about what the digging tells us about history.

Extractions: Yellowstone National Park Planning a Visit Visiting Online Nature History ... Publications Home for More than 10,000 Years Many myths exist about Yellowstone. However, none is more persistent than the notion that American Indian groups rarely ventured into the area because of their fear of the numerous geysers. However, this is not the case. Our current understanding suggests Native Americans have called the area that was to become Yellowstone National Park home for over 10,000 years. Archeologists have only recently begun to investigate and understand how prehistoric groups used upland and mountain environments, for only a short while ago it was believed by many researchers that these areas were too harsh to support a significant number of people. As such, the mountains were considered marginal and somehow unimportant to the major cultural developments that were occurring in the basins and on the plains. Contemporary archeological investigations use a number of researchers from various disciplines to piece together the puzzle of prehistoric societies. Palynology , the study of plant pollen, is important for understanding the various plant communities that occupied the region in the past, and how the climate has changed through time.
