The Peopling of the Americas Kit uses several activities to introduce the student to stone tool technology. The students will learn through hands-on experiences how stone tools were manufactured, and how archaeologists analyze stone tools. Clovis replicas are included along with directions and supplies that that allow the student to learn how the points were attached to the shafts. Slides and books are also included in the kit, which allow students to get a glimpse of the terrain, animals, and possible migration routes which these early inhabitants would have encountered. Clovis Connection Day, an event held at the Burke Museum, is an example of one way to teach children about the peopling of the Americas.
