For teachers - 11 views

  •  
    Much of the content on this website has been specially tailored for a secondary school audience. It aims to teach students about the process of archaeology and about the Geometric settlement of Zagora (c 900-700 BCE) on the Greek Aegean island of Andros.

    Not a whole lot here but has an open access section which might be useful for students digging for information on archaeology. Bad pun.

Flickr: Wessex Archaeology's Photostream - 0 views

  •  
    This photostream from flickr is maintained by Wessex Archaeology in Britain. It contains images of their excavations and the artefacts they've recovered. Useful for investigations of pre-modern Britain, I would imagine.

Archaeology in Europe Educational Resources - 0 views

  •  
    Has some small excerpts from medieval texts with accompanying translation and explanation. Not a whole lot there (unless you pay for premium access...) but would be useful for student research into medieval Britain/Constantinople/Vikings). Some pretty images for classroom resources there, too.

Foreigners in Early Medieval Europe - 0 views

  •  
    This is an interesting site which has a map of archaeological sites from medieval Europe and you can browse them to look at the acculturation of the Germanic invaders/immigrants at the end of Ancient period. Will be useful for student research.

    This provides a database of archaeological sites currently under excavation, including images of artefacts and some historical information. You search by region and then get a list of sites currently being worked on, so it can be a bit time-consuming but would be excellent for student research.

Welcome to the Portable Antiquities Scheme - 0 views

  •  
    This is a database set up in the UK to record archaeological artefacts found in Britain. It has a growing collection of coins, art, etc usually accompanied by an image. Would be useful when designing classroom resources or in senior student research, I would imagine.

Early Korea Project: Images - 0 views

  •  
    There's not much here really, just a few images of archaeological sites and artefacts from Korea but given that's not a place you see much about I've included them. When I lived there I visited the significant sites but usually they were uninspiring and accompanied by a sign that read something like: 'This is [insert Korean place name] which was destroyed by the evil marauding Japanese in [insert year]'. No love lost there, I think...

The ULTIMATE tree-ring pages! - 0 views

  •  
    Henri loves his tree-ring dating and that's why he set up this site with all things dendrochronological. Would be useful if you're doing archaeology with your students (it's customary in Queensland for year 11 students to do a unit on that).

Stone Pages * Web guide to Megalithic Europe - 1 views

  •  
    A site run by people really into their rocks. Has information and some high-res images of standing stones, stone circles and other prehistoric megaliths from Western and Southern Europe. Good for prehistoric Europe, the Celts or archaeology, I guess.

Heritage Conservation Network: Adventures in Preservation - International Volunteer Vac... - 0 views

  •  
    Would be an excellent student activity if you lived in a country with a significant and extant material history. You register with this network and nominate run-down buildings that you and your students can then restore, under the guidance of these volunteers. I guess there are some ethical problems there, but it would still be a wonderful experience for the students.
