Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Archaeology Merit Badge. Nothing is required, nothing is kept on the server, and nothing is ever hidden because a question went unanswered. A step that might apply to you stays on the list and is marked.

Requirement 7: museum, heirloom or trash?

One of three, and they cost nothing like the same. A museum needs one within reach and an afternoon. A family heirloom needs your family to own something significant AND somebody who can tell you its history, so it is either the fastest route or a closed door. The trash list needs nobody outside the house and takes seven days that cannot be shortened, which makes it the one to start early.

Requirement 10: a real project or a simulated one?

Both need a qualified archaeologist. The real project is at least eight hours assisting on work already under way, and needs your parent or guardian AND your counselor to permit it. The simulated project needs one designed by a qualified archaeologist, and the note underneath it names who counts, including a science teacher.

Requirement 11: an exhibit or an experiment?

One of two, and both are done under the supervision of a qualified archaeologist or instructor. The exhibit needs a public place willing to show it, which is a booking as well as a piece of work. The experiment needs materials and a written report but nobody's wall.
