1 Fundamental concepts
Activities in this part teach the fundamental concepts necessary for understanding archaeology: the importance of the past, culture, observation and inference, context, chronology, classification, and scientific inquiry. Teaching this part as a unit prior to other lessons will prepare students to more easily assimilate information from the rest of the guide. The lesson “It’s in the garbage” is an activity in which students use each of the concepts they have covered in Chapter 1 to analyze and interpret archaeological evidence.
