Rationale:
It is important for students to begin to understand the
behavioral sciences. Little known to most people,
archeology is a part of this behavioral science. Students
need to know how archaeology can be applied to social
studies in ways other than what they usually think of it for
(dinosaurs, etc.).
Standards:
State Illinois Common Core or Learning Standards
18.C.3a Describe ways in which a diverse U.S.
population has developed and maintained common beliefs
(e.g., life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights).
18.C.3b Explain how diverse groups have contributed to
U.S. social systems over time.
National NCSS Themes
