Robert-
        Why not ask your curator to direct her web-browser to a series of
web-pages detailing the full-scale excavations of a prehistoric farming
village in western Iowa?  The Cowan Site (13WD88) was excavated by the
General Contracts Program of the Office of the State Archaeologist of Iowa
during April-July 1998.  The site represents a 900-950 year old village
occupied by the Great Oasis Culture near present day Sioux City, Iowa.
        The web site, is linked to the "Current Research" section of our Index Page:
http://www.uiowa.edu/~osa/index.html
Check it out!  It might give those enrolled in your summer youth
archaeology program an idea what it is like to excavate a large, intact
archaeological site.  (The pages are best viewed with your monitor
resolution set at 800x600 or higher.)
