There are four parts to the Digging Up the Past series.
Part I, Archaeological Methods, is the first in the series and is a prerequisite for the other three classes.
Part II introduces students to the prehistory of South Carolina.
Part III introduces students to the Contact Period when the Spanish and French first came into contact with Native Americans.
Part IV introduces students to the historic time period when English, Africans and other Europeans came to South Carolina.
Parts II, III, and IV do not have to be taken in order but all students will have to take Part I (Archaeological Methods) first since methods will not be taught in the other classes.
Part I: Archaeological Methods
This class introduces students to the methods used by archaeologists in the field. At the end of the program students will understand how archaeologists excavate and analyze artifacts in order to come to conclusions about their sites. To demonstrate what they have learned, students will take part in an archaeological activity that requires them to piece together information.
