Abstract	This thematic magazine helps teachers explore archaeology through an introductory article and three lesson plans, one with a student-take-home worksheet. Lesson 1 is designed for group work and involves identification of "artifacts" taken from familiar, contemporary settings, as the students attempt to describe the function of each artifact and to interpret possible associations between artifacts. Lesson 2 uses a whole class demonstration followed by independent seat work as students identify methods archaeologists use to relatively date soil layers and interpret soil profiles. Lesson 3 includes a take-home worksheet (two copies: one in English, one in Spanish) that helps students understand how archaeologists use typology to interpret artifacts as they interpret sample artifacts. The Resource page includes Internet addresses for on-line research. (DQE)
