Historic Archaeology--This lesson plan, offered
by EdSitement, is framed by the following guiding question: "What artifacts
do archaeologists recover and what do we learn from them?" In answering
this question, students are asked to "recover" and analyze artifacts from
sites in use from the settlement period to the second half of the 19th
century, to look for similarities and differences among the artifacts and
the lives they reveal, and, students will also look at today's artifacts
of the future and consider how we will be viewed.
