You have been sent by the king of your country on an exciting exploration to uncharted lands. You are one of four bright minds ~ reknowned scientists in your field ~ a mathematician, an historian, an anthropologist and an archaeologist*.
First, you will be observing and gathering your notes from your voyage. Then you will have to report your findings back to the people of your country.
Use the print materials and online websites provided to you for your research. You will be taking notes on your notetaking sheet and saving pictures and videos to your "my documents" for later use. Be sure to cite all your sources in order to justify your findings back in your country.
Notetaking sheets: mathematician, historian, archeologist, anthropologist

Second, you will be reporting back to your king via a wiki (okay, so there's a technological time warp).
