What an awesome way to start the week! This morning, we had the privilege to attend "Dig It!" an archaeology program from the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology's "Cultural Caravan." Thanks to the PCC, we were able to learn all about the different ways archaeologists use evidence to learn about prehistoric people! We learned about carbon dating, counting tree rings, pottery seriation, and soil. We got the chance to reconstruct broken shards of pottery and dig for artifacts to learn about the culture of a Northeast Native American tribe. We cannot WAIT for the next visit from the Cultural Caravan - thank you PCC! Check out the photos and video below to get a taste of our work as archaeologists - enjoy!
