In this solo archaeology journaling game you are creating the results of an excavation of a cave mouth which has been a frequently used campsite for a thousand or more years. You do this backwards, building up history from the bedrock up.

Roll a six-sided die and add dirt, building the cave floor upwards over time. At some point you may uncover archaeological finds and use a flowchart to learn about that find and how it came to be there. The deeper the dig, the older the finds uncovered, contextualizing the historical objects.

What will you uncover?
