[Lesson Name] Transparent Shoebox Dig [Type/General Category] Regular Lesson Simulated Dig [Grade Levels] Grades K-2 [Description] 
The shoebox dig is created in a transparent plastic box with a lid. The teacher tells a story about two or more cultures, and the students help create the layers and deposit the artifacts representing the cultures, paying attention to stratigraphy and keeping layers separate from one another. Since the shoebox is transparent, students can see the layers being formed.
