Have you ever wondered if archaeologists get to keep their finds? Do your students ask about excavating human bones? This packet begins by explaining the roles of ethics and laws archaeologists must abide by and answers common questions non-archaeologists often have such as where archaeologists are allowed to dig and why canÕt anyone dig wherever they want.
This informational portion of the packet provides your students with such background information, and you may choose to have your students use these sections for group, partner, or independent reading. Following this are ready-to-use lesson plan activities by using real case studies. Students will reflect on the case studies and formulate well thought out responses to ethical dilemmas.
Written for grades six through eight.
