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.

Browse both 3D and standard photographic images of the United States National Parks. Selected field guides available. Subjects include igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks; weathering; glacier, coastal, and stream valley landforms; features of deserts and caverns; forests and plants; animals; native and prehistoric cultures; and man-made features.

This site is quite specialised but if you're doing research or looking for resources on archaeology in prehistoric, ancient or medieval Britain then this is the place for you. Lots of neat images - they have a link to their photostream on flickr.

This webquest, 'Hunters with amnesia', is an example of an activating teaching method (activating instructional format) called the AQUA, which stands for Activating prior knowledge, asking Questions and searching for Answers. The AQUA is related to  problem-based learning.  'Hunters with amnesia' is an assignment about the life of hunters and gatherers in prehistoric times, but is also an assignment about activating prior knowledge, misconceptions, the formulation of questions and about the search for information (information skills) and cooperative learning. 

Excellent site for Bronze Age Greece.
