FAQs

What age group is this kit designed for?

This kit is intended for children interested in science and history, typically ages 6 and up, though adult supervision is recommended.

Are the artifacts made of real fossils?

No, the artifacts are high-quality replicas designed to simulate the experience of a real archaeological find.

How long does it take to excavate one block?

Depending on the user's precision and pace, a single block can take between 30 to 60 minutes to fully excavate.

Is the clay messy to clean up?

Yes, it creates a fine dust. We recommend using a tray or working outdoors if possible to simplify cleanup.

Does the volcano project require glue?

The kit includes the necessary materials to build the volcano, but you may need common household items like school glue or tape to ensure structural stability.

Troubleshooting

The clay block is too hard to dig into.

Ensure you are using the mallet correctly to apply controlled force; if it remains difficult, mist the block with a very small amount of water to loosen the clay binder.

I cannot find the artifact in the block.

Continue working in small sections and using the brush to clear away dust; sometimes artifacts are located deeper toward the center of the block.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit with all necessary tools included
  • Provides long-term engagement with 10 separate digging projects
  • Excellent for teaching patience and scientific observation
  • Combines multiple scientific disciplines including geology and archaeology

Cons

  • Excavating clay blocks can be messy and generate fine dust
  • Tools are sized for younger hands and may feel small for older children
  • Requires significant time and space to complete all 10 projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, clear a wide workspace and place newspaper or a tray down to catch loose clay particles. No additional tools or batteries are required for this kit, making it a self-contained activity. To care for your tools, clean the chisel and brush with a dry cloth after each use to prevent clay buildup in the bristles. Keep all unused excavation blocks in a cool, dry place to maintain their structural integrity before you are ready to dig. If the clay proves too hard, a very slight mist of water can sometimes soften the surface, but avoid soaking the blocks as this may compromise the artifacts inside.
