The main subject area covered is history with strong links to geography and science within the SESE framework. The pack is also designed to integrate across the entire curriculum.

Reviews from teachers involved in the pilot phase concluded that the modules were easy to teach and fun to learn, that Archaeology is a very practical subject and that pupils of all ages and abilities readily engaged with its hands-on activity-based structure.

The pack is divided into twelve modules. It also contains Source Material, Health & Safety Guidelines, Glossary, and a general introduction to Irish archaeology entitled Brief Guide to Monuments and Artefacts.
