　　Divide students into groups．Each group makes up a civilization①, including a name, location and climate, government, way of life, and religion．The group decides what items the civilization might leave behind：decorative② pieces, eating and cooking tools, written work, equipment for agriculture, transportation, construction, government, and so on．The artifacts(人工制品尤指原始工具；石器)need to fit the lifestyle, era(时代), and climate of the invented civilization．Then the students create the artifacts using whatever materials fit the civilization they've defined(定义)．The students can break or damage their materials to make them look old．

　　When this is complete, the groups dig holes, bury their artifacts, and cover up the holes．Each group is then assigned③ another group's land area and the students become archaeologists(考古学家)and dig up as many artifacts as they can find．Student archaeologists need to try to understand the civilization from the artifacts they've dug up．The student archaeologists label(贴标签)and tag(贴标签)the artifacts, describing where they found them and what they think the artifacts represent．

　　Civilization creates and student archaeologists compare what the artifacts really meant with the finders' explanations．
