Virtual Lab for Physical Anthropology Printed Access Card

This full color, interactive online product provides you with a hands-on computer component for completing lab assignments at school or at home. Through the use of video clips, 3-D animations, sound, and digital images, students can actively participate in 12 labs as part of their physical anthropology and archaeology course.
