This is a fun site to look at; it is divided into three parts. The Excavation has a calendar page that shows what day each piece was discovered. October 4, 1997, the last day of the dig, they found 1/4 of a Spanish coin and gun flints. The History section tells the story of Arbuckle's Fort in West Virginia, named after Captain Matthew Arbuckle in 1774. The Exhibit shows photographs of artifacts like wrought iron nails. It was so interesting that I could have read it for hours.

This site has a lot of material about archaeology, and is organized into topics. Each topic has a lot of information on archaeology, and there are many topics to choose from. What is Archaeology? gives you an introduction. Things Discovered by Archaeologists tells about great discoveries. What is a Mummy? tells how and why the Egyptians made mummies. The Process tells you how archaeologists decide where to dig, how it's done, and finding how old things are. It is easy to get around because all you do is look and click. The design is good and well organized. I recommend this site for kids ten and over.

I think this site is pretty good. At the beginning you see two New York tenement buildings. You can click on any room and it will show you who lived there. On the home page there is an old newspaper with options to get to different site locations. There is also information about the buildings. The site has fairly good graphics. It is easy finding your way around. I rate this site a 93% because some of the words are big and hard to read, but it is interesting. I think this site is best for ages ten and up.

Mysteries of Catalhoyuk is a good site to go to for archaeology. It is organized into five information categories. Artifacts and Recent Findings shows old pottery, human remains, & ground stone tools. In People & Processes, you explore the process archaeologists use to dig things up. Catal Tour gives you a virtual tour of Catalhoyuk. About Catalhoyuk has facts about the town in Turkey. The last category, Mysteries & Activities, has games, paintings and questions to answer. The site contains a good amount of information. I think you will like it.

This website is awesome. It contains several topics to choose from. In Peruvian Expedition '96, you can learn what archaeologists bring on an expedition. Mummies of the World tells how different people have made mummies. Dispatches has daily accounts and images of what the archaeologists found. Lost Worlds tells about the lost world of the Inca. This NOVA website has lots of information on Inca spiritual sacrifices. The colored photographs are freaky. I recommend this website for people who are doing reports on the Inca or people who like to read about ice mummies.

This site is gnarly! The Ancient Egypt dig is divided into ten weeks. For each week you can go into News Flash, Daily Grind, FVI, Up Close and Personal, and S.O.S.. You can meet people and go into different excavations. I liked the sixth week best. In Up Close and Personal, they talked about camels. On the home page there is a movie to click on that takes you through the excavation. I thought the colored pictures, sound and video made the site more interesting. I recommend this site for kids ten and up.

This site is full of lots of things for kids. It is divided into three sections: Welcome to the Past, Planning For Your Visit, and Special Features. In Welcome to the Past, you get to explore an 1830s village. It is easy to find your way around because there are labels for things everywhere. The Special Features part has games and quizzes. There are two online board games; Nine Men's Morris, and Fox and Geese. You will also find quizzes on George Washington and 1830s American history. I recommend this web site for ages nine and up!

In this site you will find three chihuahuas dressed as Egyptian pharaohs. Each chihuahua will guide you through their section of the tomb. In Corkankhamun Explains Mummification, there is pop-up trivia where it tells you something extra about the paragraph that you just read. In Neferchichi's Egyptian Graphics, you can get Egyptian Clip art that show gods and godesses with animal ears or faces! In Learn about Egypt with Neferkiki, there is a bibliography of books and activities about Ancient Egypt. These are the three chihuahuas on the home page. Clicking on them leads to even more things to explore. I really enjoyed it.
