The 30-minute color 16mm sound film, available from the International Film Bureau, introduces students to the science of archaeology. Originally intended by developers of the Anthropology Curriculum Project as part of an elementary school unit on culture, the film can also be used in high school and university level anthropology and history courses and in museum education programs. Focusing on archaeological methods, the film shows how archaeologists working in the southeastern United States locate and excavate a site and examine their findings. Information is presented on preliminary research, surveying and mapping, digging, removing and cleaning objects, cataloging, preserving, and dating artifacts by stratigraphy and Carbon 14 methods. Final scenes show artifacts of the Etowah Indians uncovered by archaeologists in Georgia and explain how archaeologists record and publish findings for the benefit of other scientists interested in similar areas or methods.
