Cargoes From Three ContinentsCargoes from Three Continents is a new education publication from the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA). It presents lesson plans and teacher resources derived from the l997 Summer Institute of this name held in Boston (AIA headquarters) and underwritten by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The aim of the Institute was to enrich the precollege curriculum by showing the importance of archaeology in reconstructing the past, to get away from the "spotlight" method of presenting history by demonstrating the interconnectedness of ancient cultures. The innovative materials in this over 200-page book with handy maps and drawings come from sixteen Social Studies teachers, three Latin teachers, and one teacher who conducts in-service workshops combining history and science. Also included are the Institute's detailed lecture schedule (a who's who of distinguished archaeologists and ancient historians participated), syllabus, and bibliography.
