Try Creation Expeditions.  We have friends that work with them. They are really open to including new people in their expeditions.

Can I please see these photographs as well?\n\nI viewed your source, and the pre-Colombian gold artifacts do look like airplanes, and the heiroglyphics do look like helicopters and a blimp. I didn't see a source for a jet fighter on rock (you probably meant gold) or pictures of ancient astronauts, or a picture of the space station on a rock in Persopolis. If you have a chance and remember where you saw them, please add the links. I don't know why the gold sculptures look so much like airplanes; we know that airplanes didn't exist back then so do you think the sculptor had some sort of vision? The picture of the heiroglyphics did not elaborate on them at all... at this point, with the information you gave me, it seems to be a very long stretch. Very long.

If you can give more clues it might be helpful - any particular historical event or time period??  Right now I am drawing a blank on all of them - I will check back to see if you can add any info.

Archaeology is wonderfull science.. I Think you will get a lot of fun and adventurer. You will learning about many different kind religion, because people from the past always have think and created tools by learning from nature and religion. btw I'm graduated from Archaeology departement on University of Indonesia.

Your might try a periodical called "Archaeology Today"\nit is available in most Libraries.\nAnother is "Biblical Archaeologist"\n\n"The Finger Print of God" by Ross is a book just for you.\n \nBut you really dont want proof, do you?

Actually, as an archaeologist who has actually dug in Egypt, I have to say that it isn't that simple.  While it would be very nice if a certain amount of dirt equaled a certain amount of time, geological processes of deposition just aren't that simple.  Sand, dirt, trash, whatever, accumulates at different rates depending on what kind of soil it is, what the weather and climate is like in an area, and how much human activity is going on in a given place.  \nFor example, my most recent work was on a structure dating to the early New Kingdom, around 1500 BC - and in some places the top of the structure was visible on the surface and in others we had to dig down about half a meter.  Conversely, in work I've done in the United States, I've had to dig down 3 meters to reach artifacts that were no more than 300-500 years old.

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

What would it destroy? stuff we wouldn't know about anyway unless we dug it up?  I'd say its more useful than destructive.  And if you disagree, go talk to indy about it, he'll probably kick the crap out of you steal your woman and run through some mayan pyramid using his whip to swing from some dramatic cliff.  Thats what archaeology is all about my friend.

check out antiques road show. its on pbs. they have tons of stuff like that on there. also check out history channel, a&e as well as the discovery channel and national goegraphic for the egypton history. good luck. and i love anything egyption . you are v. lucky to have it. take good care of it.

The myceanean culture had beautiful artwork. Lots of frescoes and pottery. I studied it for Classical Studies.\nCheck out http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ixbin/hixclient.exe?_IXDB_=compass&search-form=graphical/edu/main.html&submit-button=search\n\nOr the adult section if thats more relevant, there are links there. The more individual specimens you use on your assignment, including all the info u have on them, the higher your marks will be! GoodLuck!

Here are a couple of sites.\nI think that you will find them interesting.

It would help to find useful archaeologists if you tell where you found those slate stones. While I know a couple of archaeologists, they are specialized on Aegean Bronze Age or Viking Age rather than Stone Age Britain, which wouldn't be too helpful.

Try this website for information on the pre-fieldwork assessment in an archaeological project:\n\nhttp://ilmbwww.gov.bc.ca/risc/pubs/culture/arch/arch-02.htm\n\nPre-fieldwork Data Compilation:\n\nBefore an inventory is conducted, archaeologists must compile background information to establish a cultural and environmental context for the study area. Background information should include a synthesis of biogeophysical, ethnographic and archaeological information. \n\nThis compilation will enable the archaeologist to: \n\nidentify the limits of available data and gaps in existing knowledge; \nevaluate the physical and cultural potential of the landscape; \nassess temporal change to the landscape and the resulting impact on settlement and subsistence patterns; \nformulate cultural land use patterns; \nevaluate previous archaeological studies; \nassess the integrity of the study area; and \nframe research or resource management objectives through an appropriate survey and sampling strategy.\n\nData collection and compilation tasks must be conducted prior to initiating fieldwork, and should be briefly summarized in the Heritage Conservation Act permit application needed to conduct the required fieldwork. \n\nInvestigators should use standard, accepted terminology from established disciplines or fields (e.g., archaeology, ethnography, pedology, geology, biology, etc.) when collecting and compiling data. \n\nGuidelines for Pre-fieldwork Data Compilation:\n\nConduct a review of relevant environmental and palaeoenvironmental literature and data sources. Data sources may include: \nsoils; \nrelevant palaeoecological studies to determine past environmental conditions that may have influenced cultural adaptations, including the sythesis of Holocene sea levels; \nvegetation/forest cover; \nrelevant flora and fauna (reflecting adequate time depth); \necosections; \nbiogeoclimatic zones; \nterrain mapping; \narchaeological overview assessment studies; and \ncurrent and past land use patterns. \n\nReview ethnographic studies, traditional use/oral history studies, and ethnohistoric literature. \n\nReview relevant archaeological literature and data sources. \nIdentify and discuss environmental, palaeoenvironmental, ethnographic, ethnohistoric and archaeological variables relevant to analyzing site distribution and density. \n\nReference sources of environmental, palaeoenvironmental, ethnographic, ethnohistoric and archaeological data used in the study. \n\nIntegrate pre-fieldwork data collection and compilation into the research design and methodology proposed for use in the archaeological inventory study. \n\nIdentify all archaeological sites requiring re-recording/information updates.\n\nOther information sources that may be considered as part of the pre-fieldwork data compilation are: \n\na review of surficial and bedrock geology; \na preliminary field reconnaissance (air photograph interpretation or overflight).\n\nA summary of the pre-fieldwork compilation should be included in the Heritage Conservation Act inspection permit application.

This website should give you more than enough ideas for your project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada#History\n\nGood Luck!!!

Yes, it has already been done. There was an article published last year about it. Using satellite images from Google Maps and Google Earth, an Italian man found the remains of an ancient villa. The article illustrates the image that he used to infer a buried archaeological site.\nhttp://www.nature.com/news/2005/050912/full/050912-6.html\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4267238.stm\n         In October 2006, there was an article(s) about a Univ. of North Carolina prof who is using Google Earth to find ancient ruins in France after reading about the Italian man's discovery. The prof is quoted:-"I've spent 25 years in this region of France," Madry said. "In the whole time, I've found a handful of archaeological sites. I found more in the first five, six, seven hours than I've found in years of traditional field surveys and aerial archaeology."\nhttp://depthreporting.com/2006/10/finding-ancient-ruins-in-france-with.html\nhttp://www.newsobserver.com/110/story/498957.html
