Dig This! How Archaeologists Uncover Our Past – July 28

July 28, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

1PM-3PM, Grades 4-8
Reservations Requested. Limited Group Size. 854 7680
$5 per participant. Supplies, beverage and snack provided. Sponsorships provided for those that can not afford the fee, but want to join in. All are welcome.

This activity introduces participants to general Wisconsin archaeology, early Native American history, and basic archaeological concepts and practices. 
The field lesson uses a present-day campsite to help students understand how careful mapping techniques and interpretation of artifact “assemblages” teach us about the past.

Participants will map a simulated excavation unit using the same tools and techniques employed by archaeologists. Students will then examine the artifacts to understand what activities took place at the archaeological site.
