In
March, Sarah Mullersman, an archaeologist from the Kelsey Museum in Ann Arbor
visited our seventh-grade geography classes at West Middle School.
She
provided the students with two hands-on activities. These activities gave
the students with a better understanding of the processes involved in
archaeology.
In
the first activity, the students worked cooperatively to put together broken
pottery. In the second activity, students investigated burial boxes to
hypothesize the gender, age, status and occupation of the deceased.
The
presentation was well received by staff and students. Through this experience,
the students know the skills and practices needed in successful archaeological
digs and discoveries.
