No citations needed , The Mystery Cemetery project is basically a puzzle-solving project. You are given a set of clues and
information. Your task is to interpret the clues and try to reconstruct as much as you can regarding how
the people of this culture organized their village. There is just one cemetery – you are given four maps of the same one place.
You are responsible for accounting for all of the people in the entire cemetery.
As to format – there isn’t any required format. You could do it in a Word document, or a spreadsheet
table, or even in a set of PowerPoint slides or such, if you wanted to. It is not an “essay”; just a write up.
The thing I am looking for is that you account for the meaning of all of the artifacts found, and thus can
provide the required amount of information regarding who is buried where and aspects about why things
are arranged the way they are.
This means that I do not want just a listing of what items are placed into each grave. We already have
that information. That is the information you are given. What is wanted is the interpretation of each
item. For example, what does it mean to be buried with a “blue marble”? Why are some people in the
cemetery buried with blue marbles and others are not?
