1.) Students will be assigned to one of four groups. Each group will draw or make artifacts for its occupation. Suggestions for artifacts are: Hunter - tools in various phases of production, weapons in various phases of production, pieces of flint, leather thongs for binding spear points to spears, sticks or branches for making spears and arrows Gatherer - herbs and plants, sewing materials, a basket being woven, leather or skins being made into clothing, pouches, etc., counting sticks for keeping track of items being produced Artist - sources of paint such as berries or flowers, mortar and pestle for grinding paints, paint brushes being made from animal hair and twigs, fish oil or other oil or fat to "bind" the paint, rock with sample animal scratched on it to serve as model, sample of cave painting Shaman - rattle and other music making device, frustrating devices, cape and headdress, spiritual figurines or symbols Each group will prepare a quadrant of the classroom floor or countertop with the artifacts they have created. Next, each group will select a card with a number on it. (Make sure each group gets a number of a quadrant other than its own.) Students will proceed to that quadrant.

2.) Using graph paper, the students will sketch and number the contents of the quadrant just as real archaeologists do. The group (individually or collectively) will complete an analysis of the artifacts they have found, answering the following questions for each object.

Each group will then present its findings to the class.

The class will be given a quiz after the presentations that will demonstrate degree of comprehension of the archaeological site and its implications.

1. Name three artifacts from the gatherer's site, and explain the importance of each of them to the tribe

2. Name three artifacts from the shaman's site, and explain what these tell us about the tribe's spiritual beliefs

3. Name three artifacts from the artist's site and explain how this makes the Cro-Magnon civilization different from other civilizations of Early Man

4. Give three pieces of evidence that this tribe lived by hunting.
