Scouts BSA Archaeology merit badge
Feel free to use these Scouts BSA Archaeology Merit Badge presentations I use to teach my classes.
Class Material has been updated to 2021 Merit Badge requirements
For the general reader, these are also an EXCELLENT introduction to the basic fundamentals and techniques of archaeology, as well as some of my own personal favorite archaeological sites from around the world.
Note: Print the dendrochronology and stratigraphy exercises on 11 x 17 paper with no pdf resizing.
The dendrochronology exercise requires Lab-Aids Kit #52 - "Dendrochronology - Tree Ring Dating Kit"
