This study examined the use of a web-based tool in one undergraduate
Archaeology course taught at Indiana University. In the Fall 2000 term,
students enrolled in P314: African Prehistory used TimeWeb during four
75-minute classes. Rockeman et al, an independent research and consulting firm, conducted evaluations of the implementation of TimeWeb, including classroom and computer lab observations, pre-course surveys and attitude questionnaires, and individual interviews with students. Although the
complete integration of TimeWeb into a course remains in the developmental
stage, it appears to have interesting implications for affecting the way
students work and think about archaeology.

Interviews were conducted with undergraduate Anthropology P314 students
in Fall 2000.
