Echos from the Ancients http://www.pbs.org/echoes/

Almost 2,000 years ago the people of Yodefat - a small city in the Galilean region of what is now Israel - took a brave stand against the powerful Roman army. The rebellion of this poor, agrarian community started a monumental six-year war with the Romans that would change the course of Western civilization.

Prehistoric Art http://www.jlc.net/~brian/art/prehistoric.html

What precisely is prehistoric art? Some believe that prehistoric art is any art which does not show the human form remotely similar to what actually exists. That is, there is no definate nose, mouth, eyes, or other complex facial features. Some compare prehistoric art to the art of younger children playing with crayons and in some ways this belief is not entirely dissimilar to the actual truth.

How is an archaeological expedition organized? http://www.civilisations.ca/membrs/archaeo/nogap/howis.htm

If you don't plan well in advance, you may not know where you are, you may not have what you need, you may not like what you must eat, and you may not have the help you require. All of these factors must be taken into account before you proceed into the field. http://www.civilisations.ca/membrs/archaeo/nogap/vidsound.htm
