Events include prehistoric and historic artifact displays from local archaeological sites, artifact identification, stone tool-making demonstrations, spear throwing outdoors, and 3-D laser scanning and printing artifact replicas. There will also be a room for kids (and the young at heart), with activities such as prehistoric hand-painting, wampum beading, and pottery refitting. All of the archaeology laboratories (including the faunal, botanical, and geophysical labs) will open their doors to the public during the event and fun, complimentary archaeology-themed snacks will be provided. Travel back in time and come see how archaeology is done at this free event!
