This pilot project focuses on the development of computer modules that present the fundamentals of archeology to undergraduate students in an interactive, visually stimulating context. The software modules, involve: 1) stratigraphy and relative dating, 2) artifact classification, and 3) analysis of animal bones have a strong visual component, and employ current techniques of video image analysis that allow students to participate in the process of science, not just its results. It is hoped that by providing stimulating laboratory exercises with a significant visual component, that the recruitment and retention of students in the sciences will be enhanced, especially with respect to the significant Native American population served by the institution.

这个试点项目的重点是开发计算机模块，在互动的、视觉刺激的背景下向本科生展示考古学的基本原理。这些软件模块涉及：1)地层学和相对年代测定，2)文物分类，3)动物骨骼分析具有很强的视觉成分，并使用当前的视频图像分析技术，允许学生参与科学过程，而不仅仅是其结果。希望通过提供具有重要视觉成分的激励性实验室练习，加强招收和留住理科学生，特别是考虑到该机构所服务的大量美洲原住民人口。
