I use this lesson as part of my Archaic Humans unit (Click Here: Early Humans 5 Lesson Bundle). After teaching the 5 lessons, I ask the students to conduct a research project on Archaic Humans (Click Here: Early Humans Research Project). I am always amazed at how interested my students are in ancient civilizations and how motivated they are to learn more about it. Have fun!!

Thanks so much,
