Archaeology at Jamestown  
The mission of Historic Jamestowne is to preserve, protect and promote the original site of the first permanent English settlement in North America.  Two new interactive archaeology modules give users a taste of how Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists do their work. The Artifact Module and the Buildings Module illustrate the many methods archaeologists employ to identify and give context to their discoveries. Requires Flash. You will be asked to provide some basic information before you use them. This will help track their popularity. Take time to figure out all of the features before you turn your students loose. You might want to create a simple guide to help them. Teachers may also contact Tonia Rock(trock@apva.org) for information and lesson plans relating to the modules.

Mysteries of Çatalhöyük (Science Museum of Minnesota) 
Archaeologists are excavating the remains of a Neolithic town located in central Turkey, southeast of the modern city of Konya. 9,000 years ago, this place was one of the world's largest settlements. At a time when most of the world's people were wandering hunter-gatherers, as many as 10,000 people lived at Çatalhöyük. You'll find information about the archaeological dig, artifacts, activities for kids that revolve around everyday life, and you can take a virtual tour. Other resources include a glossary, timeline, maps and links to additional resources. Quicktime required to view the movies.
