In the three event case, all possible sequences are evaluated. Students can dig a number of sites in different ways, gaining insight into strategy and interpretation. Allows a wide variety of intra-site spatial analyses to undertaken and presented graphically. Using two real sites, students assess different ways of presenting and interpreting the evidence. A DOS based excavation simulation set in an imaginary tract of modern day Wisconsin.
Students choose which site to excavate and interpret the excavation results.
Analysis of excavation results is facilitated by functions that tabulate and graph artefacts, faunal remains, etc. A workbook accompanies the simulation that includes a superficial introduction to archaeological fieldwork. For further information please contact the Centre .
