Summaries

"Discovering the Past" teaches students how we know what we know about the past. Students join Colonial Williamsburg archaeologists as they sort though history's remnants in order to tell the story of 18th century America. They may not be "Indiana Jones" but these real life archaeologists play a vital role in discovering and interpreting history. This "behind-the-scenes" field trip lets students visit real historic sites as archaeologists dig for bits of the past. It takes them inside archaeology labs to see how modern technology reveals important clues to our nation's history.—Colonial Williamsburg Productions <[email protected]>
