If the item is an artifact, circle the word "artifact." If the item is a piece of written information, circle the word "information.

Number:

Catalog each item by assigning your group number first, then the number of the item. For example, a fishing net would be considered an artifact. If it were the first artifact collected, Group 1 would catalog it as 001- 001A. Artifacts will end with an "A;" information items will end with an "I". (Be sure to place a tag on each item with the appropriate number as well.)

Briefly describe each artifact and printed material.

Indicate whether your source of information was written directly by the person who experienced, recorded, or described events, activities, thoughts, beliefs, ideas (primary source) or indirectly by someone who researched the events or paraphrased the descriptions, thoughts, beliefs, or ideas (secondary source).
