the Altay Mountains in southern Siberia in search of an ancient
people known as the Pazyryk and uncovers the grave of a woman
mummified and frozen by freak climatic conditions some
2,400 years ago.

Peruvian Expedition '96
Learn about what happens on an archaeological dig
in dispatches, e-mails, pictures, and other
features that chronicle the events and findings
of this 1996 expedition to the summit of
Sara Sara in Peru. (Grades 6-8, 9-12)
Reading the Remains (Hot Science)
It may not seem like skeletal remains have a
lot to say, but a gravesite can be a
treasure-trove of information. Find out
how archaeologists inferred the age, number
of children, sex, diet, and more from one
gravesite's remains at Khok Phanom Di in
Thailand. (Grades 6-8, 9-12)
The Iceman's Last Meal
Learn how scientists determined, through
microscopic analysis of a sample about the
size of a little fingernail, what and when
the Iceman ate before he died more than
5,000 years ago. (Grades 6-8, 9-12)
Unquiet Mummies
Explore the complex and often conflicting
claims that arise when a mummy is found;
who owns it, how does one examine it without
destroying it, and should it be put on
display? (Grades 9-12)
Teacher's Guide
There are two printable activities to accompany
these programs. The first, This Is Rotten, helps
students understand that the rate of microbial
growth differs at different temperatures. The second,
I Can Dig It!, has students analyze and interpret
information in order to locate an archaeological
site. (Grades 6-8)
