Mystery Cemetery

Using a lesson plan from the Archaeological Institute of America the Serpents and Stingrays investigated a "dig site" with 14 graves filled with artifacts. Observing the graves the students looked for common attributes to make inferences about the status, gender and age of each person buried there. An engaging simulation that introduced many concepts related to archaeology that the students will use throughout this years study of ancient cultures.
