Option 1

 * Article title
 * Zooarchaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * Needs more information added, missing sections and some sections pretty bare. Has some good areas though. Pretty much everything I said in my previous exercise where I looked into this article. Part of the Archaeology Wikiproject and the Animals Wikiproject. Good scientific journals and educational projects used as sources. Needs a few more recent sources, but overall pretty good, all the links I have tried work. Has in text citations for every claim.


 * Sources
 * Social zooarchaeology, Nerissa Russell
 * Quantitative Units and Terminology in Zooarchaeology, R. Lee Lyman

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Urban Archaeology


 * Article Evaluation
 * Has some format issues, some of the article does not flow very well. As the talk page says it does not have enough in text citations for the information it is giving. I also think it needs some more modern forms of this archaeology because it only has historic examples. Overall it needs more information and sources. Part of the Archaelogy Wikiproject, it seems as another education project is also working on this article. Scientific journals and educational programs are used as sources, so that is good. All of the sources seem very reliable but I think the citation part of the page needs to be formatted correctly. I think it needs a few more sources added and in text citations.


 * Sources
 * The Archaeology of Urban Landscapes, Monica L. Smith

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Archaeogaming


 * Article Evaluation
 * I had no idea this was a thing. The article is pretty small but has some good information and lots of sources. It is a really cool idea, but the talk page is empty and no one has edited the page since Oct. 2019. It is part of both the Video Game Wikiproject and the Archaeology Wikiproject. Lots of sources but none newer than 2016. Seems like it needs more up to date ones, some of the links don't work and others may not come from reliable sources. This topic seems kinda controversial so I am not sure I would work on this article even though it has some cool information. (I didn't know it was semi controversial until I started looking for sources)
