"A concisely written, clearly organized, highly informative and useful publication, Discovering Archaeology should prove helpful to teachers in a wide variety of classroom situations. Designed as an activity guide for middle school students (grades 5-8), this book is an excellent introduction to archaeology for teachers of elementary, junior high, and high school students. Developed in collaboration with archaeologists and educators, the activities have all been field tested and then revised through teachers' workshops. . . . The publication has been carefully designed for teachers in any county of the state. . . . Discovering Archaeology is more than an activity guide, serving also as a short introduction to archaeology for pre-college students. . . . An excellent addition to the growing list of high quality archaeology materials for the pre-college classroom."
Ruth Selig, Plains Anthropologist
"I recommend this guide for anyone wishing to introduce children
to the work of archaeologists. The lessons can be easily integrated into
school curricula. Although the material is designed for students in grades
5 through 8, I feel many of the exercises could also be adapted for younger
children. . . . Lessons and orientation material are not site specific
and can be used by any educator in any state."
