What to Write
After you have completed your mural, write an explanation of what your mural is about in order to help the future archaeologist 9,000 years from now. Answer questions such as: what does the mural mean to you, why did you choose the scene that you did, why did you paint it like that, and how does your picture relate to your life?
Now you get to be the archaeologist and restore the mural. Using your pens and markers, draw on the second sheet of banner paper and draw extensions of the images that you see. Fill in the blanks so to speak. Be careful. Do not mark any of the original mural.
Archaeologists must also document their work. Once you have finished your restoration, write a description of what you found. Include information about what you think that mural means, and what the mural might say about the person who painted it.
Optional, take a photograph of the restored mural to compare to the original.
