So what's the difference? 15 trowels vs 6 trowels 2 tape measures vs 1 tape measure 10 brushes vs 3 brushes Addition of 2 quality sieves for smaller finds Extra replica items to bury, including large ankhs and a coin hoard. Plus all of the other great features that were in the original dig box; trench pegs, string line, photography scales and worksheets. Take your students out to the school sand pit or garden and let them be archaeologists for the day! Students will really love getting out of the classroom and in to the great outdoors for a fun, hands-on outdoor lesson with real archaeological tools and methods. Set up the dig site with the trench pegs and string line into a grid square pattern. Bury the artefacts provided and have the students dig up the artefacts with the trowels and brushes, all whilst keeping the items in context. Photographic scales are provided so that the items can be photographed, measured and drawn in-situ. Sieves are provided so that students can sieve the spoil for smaller finds.
