Open Archaeology and Anthropology Day

March 18, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm



WELCOME TO THE OAAD SITE!
Join us on Friday, April 3 from 1-4pm in Piscataqua Room, Memorial Union Building, 83 Main St, Durham, NH for a fun-filled afternoon of hands-on archaeology and anthropology! In its fourth iteration, Open Archaeology and Anthropology Day is a great way to learn about other cultures in both the past and present. Activities will include stone tool knapping (or flaking), simple pottery construction, ancient foodway sampling, atlatl throwing (spear thrower), and a mock excavation. In addition, there will be a presentation by UNH students working on a cultural heritage project in conjunction with Abenaki community members.
