Archaeology Day 2018 Agenda
2019. Archaeology Day 2018 Agenda. Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, Economic Development Corporation; Michigan History Center; Michigan State Housing Development Authority
"Welcome to Michigan Archaeology Day 2018. We think you're going to have a great time, whether this is your first Archaeology Day or you come every year. Archaeologists who work in Michigan are stationed throughout the first and second floors of the museum where they will tell you about their research, show you some of the artifacts they have found and answer your questions. We have hands-on activities for kids, you can watch a flintknapper make stone tools and everyone can try throwing a spear using an atlatl. Feeling adventurous? Join a scavenger hunt to win prizes or break into history solving digital puzzles. Did you bring an artifact from home to learn more about? Show it to your Archaeology Roadshow experts! With so many activities to choose from, you may need to take a break. Join photojournalist Chris Winters in the Forum auditorium for a visually stunning presentation on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Tour the galleries, make a clay pinch pot, have a seat in the auditorium, ask lots of questions and have fun!" Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, Economic Development Corporation, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division (grant number P19AF00019).
