Today we went on an imaginary archeological dig.  Each group of students chose 6 artifacts to "discover".  They listed/named the artifacts and then classified them.  They gathered (or made up) information about the artifact such as; where was it found, what was it made of, uses, indication of life as hunter/gatherer or agricultural, town or village, etc.  After naming and classifying the artifact, they had to create two questions that they have and need answered about the artifact.
