Throughout the game, players use skills to analyze and make connections. They carefully deduce the facts about each area, stratum by stratum and artifact by artifact. At each location, players make meaning of how artifacts were used through a series of analysis questions and reports that require players to make connections, read closely and consider the historical context of the primary source artifacts. Finally, players see each site come alive as artifacts populate an historically accurate image of Egyptian life.   Features: • Engage with objects of daily life textbooks never include • Use archaeological thinking to piece together historical understanding • See artifacts in context in the ancient world • Design input from Social Studies teachers • Historically Accurate, C3 Skills-Based learning • Free Teacher Guides, Lesson Plans, and Extension Activities • Track Student Progress • Bundle with other Excavate! games for a complete curriculum solution What people are saying about Excavate! “Excellent illustrations and collection of source material.
