| Kendall's artifact: A Lego scorpion! He thought that future archaeologists would like to know how to make one. I know I would! |
 |
| Evan's artifact: A nickel. You can learn a lot about a culture from their money! Evan pointed out the date, the image of Thomas Jefferson and the motto, "In God we trust." |
 |
| Hunter's artifact: a soccer ball. He wonders what kind of sports people will play in the future. Me, too! |
 |
| Will's artifact: a book of Greek Myths. He pointed out that future archaeologists would be able to find out that we had books, spoke English and liked stories of the past. And, he wonders if there will be flying boats in the future. |
 |
| Callie brought some of her Pokemon card collection. She thought future archaeologists would be interested that some things thought of as "boy" activities were enjoyed by girls. Good thinking, Callie! |
 |
| Campbell brought her autograph book from Disney World. It shows future archaeologists how people today record their memories, with writing and photographs. |
 |
| Mia brought in two special toys for the time capsule. The kids were surprised to hear that in some past cultures kids didn't have toys! |
 |
| Noah poses with his artifact: a soccer ball. |
 |
| Olivia's artifacts: we thought archaeologists might learn something about animals of our time from this toy pony and dolphin. |
 |
| Porter shows his artifact: a Star Wars Lego figure. Two examples of 2013 culture in one artifact! Good job, Porter! |
 |
| George shows his "Happy Birthday" pencil, providing clues to future archaeologists about writing tools as well as the fact we celebrate birthdays. Nicely done! |
 |
| Elena brought photos of her pet cats to share with future archaeologists. She wonders what kinds of pets people will have in the future. Good question! |
I hope everyone enjoyed our travels back in time! I'll leave you with a quote from an archaeologist: "It's not what you find, it's what you find out." - David Hurst Thoma
Keep digging, everyone!
