SUMMARY:Archaeology in a Bonsai Garden
DESCRIPTION:1. The guided tour of the Clark Bonsai Museum exhibits in a beautiful garden. Contained plants are an ancient tradition found in several cultures\, related to medicinal\, culinary\, religious and artistic practices. Miniature trees\, called bonsai\, are related to Japanese\, Chinese\, and East Asian cultures. They are living artifacts and artworks\, made to look ancient\, and some of them are a thousand of years old. The art of bonsai involves the reading of the surface roots in the soil\, the thickness\, texture\, and scars on the trunk\, and the twisted and dead branches\, in order to appreciate the ancientness of the tree\, and the classification of bonsai styles\, similar to how archaeologists study the dates and styles of pots and other artifacts. This tour will allow participants to see and appreciate the conceptual connections between archaeology and the art of bonsai.\n2. Promotion of archaeology at the Museum. There will be a considerable number people at the Museum on a weekend of the International Archaeology Day. The Society will have a table where our board members will promote the importance of archaeology and studies of civilizations\, disseminate knowledge\, hand out information\, and recruit more members to the Society.
