Brooks, Alison S.
1986 Teacher’s Corner: Archeology in the Classroom. AnthroNotes, 8(3): 5-6, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History Department of Anthropology
In this article Brooks explains two archaeology activities suitable for various ages and provides steps for educators to follow. The 'Comparative Garbage Exercise' for grades 4-12 uses trash as a means to teach students about the relationship between material remains and various activity sites. The 'Sandbox Activity: Creating and Digging an Archaeological Site' for grades K-8 uses a grid within a confined space so that students can understand artifact distribution within a single space and analyze what those artifacts reveal.
