Let’s celebrate International Archaeology Day together! Join the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World and the Rhode Island Archaeology Society for an archaeology-themed open house on Brown University’s Main Green. See ancient coins from Greece and Rome up close! Touch animal bones! Examine and draw Persian and Roman ceramics, prehistoric tools, precious metals, and other artifacts from thousands of years ago – coached by experts! And talk with Brown’s archaeologists about their fieldwork all over the world!

Come be part of an active archaeological excavation! Students will be digging on the grounds outside the List Art Building. Stop by (with your family or on your own) any time between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm to see what our students are uncovering or even try your hand at digging.

Free and open to the public! All ages welcome!
