SUMMARY:2025 Archaeological investigations at Fort Brewerton.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of archaeological investigations at Fort Brewerton.\nFollowing a successful ground penetrating radar and magnetometer survey in the spring\, we can now use this new data to give us more confidence in finding the remains of the north wall of blockhouse # 4. Previous excavations in this area over the last 4 years have yielded many interesting artifacts and features\, giving us clues and its layout and use. Our first excavation on the 4th will be followed up by our second excavation on the 18th on international archaeology day.\nCurrent Fort Brewerton Historical Society members are welcome to assist in the excavation\, members of the public are welcome to observe. Please message us if you plan on volunteering to assist in the excavation. The blockhouse museum will not be open for tours on the 4th.\nAdditionally\, members of the New York State Archaeological Association are welcomed to participate with written permission from their chapter representative.

SUMMARY:Arkansas ArcheOlympics
DESCRIPTION:The ArcheOlympics is an annual competition that brings together teams of archeology students\, Arkansas Archeological Society members\, middle school students\, and anyone else interested in archeology and having fun. The games consist of 3 events in which teams compete to show off their skills and knowledge in archeology-based games. The first is throwing a spear with an atlatl. This takes some skill\, so most teams get together and practice before the event. Archeoletes throw for both distance and accuracy during the competition. The second event is the trivia contest. This event changes slightly each year based on the gameshow format that we choose\, but archeoletes answer questions about archeology\, important archeological sites\, archeological ethics\, and other topics related to the theme. This event directly pits teams against each other in answering the questions. The third event is the Excavation to Curation Obstacle course. The course changes slightly each year\, but teams work together to make their way through the simulated stages of archeological research. They must lay out a 1m x 1m unit\, “excavate” the unit\, collect artifacts and interpret them\, curate the artifacts\, write the report\, and get it accepted for publication.
