Congratulations on coming to the end of the lessons here. You should be prepared now to plan your own dig and go through the process of documenting your findings. Give it a shot! Take the time to practice some of the skills you have learned here. They will be important when you plan your mock excavation at the Master Level.

You may now move on to the Journeyman Core Lessons in World Archaeology. In these lessons, you will begin to focus on a sub-discipline in archaeology and research a specific area within it. Keep up the hard work, listen to the direction of your mentor and good luck!
