This week we get to get our hands dirty – so to 
speak. 
We start by looking at field survey methods, 
which is one of the most important aspects of 
archaeology. 
After all if you can’t locate a site you can’t move 
forward. 
I found an excellent movie for you to watch 
called Archaeology at Work which does a great 
job of describing archaeological fieldwork. 
In addition, there are several short videos and 
reading assignments on locating sites and 
survey. 
There is a fun activity for you to complete which 
takes the basic concepts that you have learned 
and applies them toward locating a site.  
Just click on “start the Activity’ and have some 
fun. 
There is a related forum question for this activity 
so you might want to check that out first. 
Next move on to your case study.  
This week we are looking at hendges, there is a 
.kmz file for you to download into google earth 
and take a tour.
3 forum questions
Hunt the ancestor which relates to the activity I 
mentioned previously. 
A short lesson on UTM and associated project 
for you to complete. 
All the information you need is here in the 
posting area along with a How to – movie to 
show you how to do the project. 
The How to Move is located just before the 
forum posting area. 
Please watch this. It will walk you through the 
project.
This project will take a bit of time so start on it 
early to make sure you get it done.
Your third question has to do with remote 
sensing and directs you to a web site. 
Select an article, summarize it and report on 
how the technology is being used.
I know – there is a lot to cover this week.  
It’s one of our busiest chapters, so as I said, 
make sure you get started early.
