To Adrian about psuedo-sites for students: by a neat twist of timing, I read
your posting after returning from helping to build just such a site here on the
campus of the U. of La Verne (So. Cal.) and would also like to be in touch with
others doing this. Ours is aimed at grades 5 - 8 but would work for college
kids too. We have 3 levels, early prehistoric, late prehistoric and historic,
separated by 10 cms of sterile. Our Great Hole is about 8 meters sq. and 70
cms deep, dug for us by the city of La Verne but backfilled by us, a major
undertaking. We created features and liberally sprinkled artifacts, most
out-of-provenience donations from SB County Museum. We will grid this off and
hopefully it will last a while, as redoing it will again be a monster. We have
17 classes signed up already to come dig, after their teachers go through a
13-hour intro. to Archaeology, complete with lesson plans and web site for
afterwards. Would be happy to share more off-list. Anne Duffield-Stoll at
