Hello all,

I'm writing a curriculum for an archaeology workshop and would like to do
a "dig". 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.

Thanks All,
