With Augustine and his friends (Besides archaeologists Alex and Lisa, many animals illustrate the various knowledge of archaeology), children will have to overcome several missions to each of the 25 steps used to illustrate archaeological research. At the end of the activity book, a chronology and maps help children locate in time and space the remains presented.

Each drawing represent a daily experience lived by Alex and Lisa that children can color. Guided by pictograms easy to understand and easy to follow for 5-8 years version, children are invited to try new activities (coloring, drawing, observation games, puzzles, reading) that will allow them to slip into the skin of the archaeologist.

A glossary and a bibliography provide enough explanations of the drawings to accompaniers adults (parents, teachers or facilitators) who wish to go further. The Educational Resources Space of the ArkéoTopia website, designed to feed the book with activities beyond the paper, this space provides useful resources like the names of animals, why they are present, and learn more about the real remains which are used to create My Archaeology Book.
