About this title

Synopsis

This combination of workbook and CD-ROM functions as a "virtual field school" that gives students the opportunity to carry out an excavation using real data. Based on excavations at the Middle Paleolithic site of Combe-Capelle in France, the exercises included in Virtual Dig ask students to access the CD's database to analyze and interpret findings.

From the Publisher

Introduces students to the practicalities of the archaeological experience-from creating a budget to acquiring field gear to selecting a crew-with a unique emphasis on the planning stage and the creation of a research design.
Integrates method and theory with practical application: the workbook provides background information; the computer simulation allows students to apply this information to their own virtual excavation.
Includes full-color photos of sites and artifacts, on-screen maps, site plans, graphs, and charts, providing a challenging and entertaining interactive experience with a strong pedagogical base.
Offers students the opportunity to revisit research plans, experiment with different excavation techniques, and compare their results with the authors' published case study of Combe-Capelle excavations in the 1990s.
