Hmmm...mist dig pits I've seen either use small scale cleaning & choosing out (these pits often use a glue as a binder) or something large scale and ready to move (such as rubber mulch, or plastic granules). What if you created a pit...or better yet a series of pits that use multiple methods - then the visitors would have to choose the right tools for the various operations. Another approach might be to have visitors solve the story of a dog pit...what happened there...how did the creatures die - by forces, accident or natural causes such as disease or poisoned plants? Ancillary exhibits can couch the question and give examples that might illustrate different similar scenarios.

Andrea,
What sort of dig pit are you looking at? Paleontological/archeological
or trucks and excavators?
