Indiana Jones:
Teaching Archaeology in
the Interdisciplinary Classroom

Table of Contents [Editor's Note: Several of these items assume that students have already had some background in archaeology or have seen pictures of archaeological sites in the Middle East. The original versions of these lessons were used with classes that had learned to manipulate the archaeology CDs created by Neal Bierling "Holy Land Explorer" and "Holy Land Explorer (Jerusalem version.)" Both make excellent introductions to the Holy Land. For those interested in viewing samples of these CD programs and ordering information, check the Phoenix Data Systems website.] | ||||||
