Digging The Past: Learning through Artifacts with MSU’s Campus Archaeology Program
Type: Presentation
Description:
The Michigan State Campus Archaeology Program will be offering a series of hands-on activities designed to teach participants about archaeological practices and the production of knowledge about human pasts through material culture. In addition to displays from CAP’s excavations on the MSU Campus, participants will try their hand at reconstructing ceramic vessels, identifying artifacts, and learning about stratigraphy, excavation, and archaeological laboratory work.
