Does anyone have any ideas about how to construct a model site- materials, contents, etc. I was thinking about using ice cream containers and having small model pots made from playdoh, some text, a few beads or something. Ideally there will be 4 or 5 "site"- mortuary, domestic (non-elite and non-royal elite), temple, and royal. This will be part one of a series so I want to keep it non-culture specific (the other 2 are culture specific). Also I'd like to have site maps for the pre-planning stage. This is a children's workshop, and the first one I've ever planned, so any suggestions would be helpful.
