This computer program and workbook package introduces students to the fundamentals of archaeological research by allowing them to simulate fieldwork experiences. In the simulation, students see a map of hypothetical prehistoric sites, choose sites to excavate on-screen, examine what they find, and answer questions about their findings. In the workbook, students learn the basics of fieldwork and analysis, conduct a series of studies, and prepare a report of their investigations. Windows-PC only.
