Event description

Being an archaeologist is a lot like being a detective: they decipher clues to learn about people of the past and the way they lived.

But how do archaeologists find out things about people and cultures that disappeared hundreds or even thousands of years ago?

They examine the objects they left behind. Every object, or artifact, provides important clues about the people who used it long ago. They closely observe every discovery, record important information, and think about what each artifact tells us about the people who used it.

Now it's your turn to investigate an "artifact" and record your observations in a field journal!

Parents and guardians must accompany children at all times.

Ages 7-13
