Hey, thanks all! some really great ideas!
I like the 'pretend' excavation/fieldwork idea windbag. Good suggestions all round!
I'll let you all know how it goes...I'm trying to introduce the students to the idea of archaeology and break them away from the histories. I've found that most of the students are doing the course because they don't know what classical civilisation is, so I'm hoping to convert them into loving archaeology along the way. They love practicals...made some Mycenaean Linear B tablets last week (linking to thermoluminesence etc).
Anyway thanks again for all your suggestions, I'm always on the look out for more ideas!
