By looking to the ancient past, consider what traces we are leaving behind for future generations as we become the cultural heritage protectors of tomorrow! 

During this interactive indoor/outdoor school tour, students will uncover and study artifact replicas of an Iron Age town. By employing different methods to examine their findings, students will develop hypotheses about the history, commerce, religion, and cultural practices of people who lived three thousand years ago.

The educational benefits of this program include: 

• Object-based learning and learning from primary sources 

• Creating hypotheses and practicing the scientific method 

• Reinforcing social studies curriculum content standards 

• Practicing close-looking and critical thinking 

Note: Dig activities may be moved indoors due to weather. 

“The digging was great fun for the students. The artifact examination with modern items was very engaging.” —Teacher
