Archaeology and Ancient Civilizations
Students in grade seven study the social, cultural, and technological changes that occurred in Europe, Africa, and Asia in the years A . D . 500–1789. After reviewing the ancient world and the ways in which archaeologists and historians uncover the past, students study the history and geography of great civilizations that were developing concurrently throughout the world during medieval and early modern times. They examine the growing economic interaction among civilizations as well as the exchange of ideas, beliefs, technologies, and commodities.
