Come to the Museum on Archaeology Day and enjoy demonstrations and hands-on activities involving the creation of ceramics, their use, and various aspects of archaeological investigations. Museum-wide activities will provide you with an understanding of how archaeology impacts our understanding and interpretation of past life-ways.
Ceramics are essential to human activities. Nearly every documented culture has some form of clay-derived objects that are typically fired in kilns. The people coming to and already living in America had a rich and varied ceramic background, which our Archaeology Day activities will showcase.
Appropriate for all ages! Dig boxes will be available for the kids at the 1740s American Settlement exhibit. Activities will be ongoing throughout the day at each of the Museum’s exhibits noted below.
