Join us at the 13th annual Archaeology Roadshow at Gateway Discovery Park! HACCM will present a display on this year’s theme of “The Archaeology of Art & Craft.” We’ll be joined by universities, government agencies, tribes, and other museums & cultural institutions. This free, family friendly event features activities and exhibits to help visitors of all ages learn more about Oregon’s past and its connections to us today.
You can also bring up to 3 objects that you are curious to learn more about. Experts with knowledge about stone tools, pottery, animal bones, historical archaeology, and geology will do their best to determine the object’s age, possible function and anything else they can. Bring any details you know about where the object was found. Sorry, no financial appraisals provided.
Besides sharing their knowledge, the experts and heritage specialists will talk with you about the importance of stewardship – and the need for all of us to take care of precious artifacts that are directly linked to descendant communities. More information is available at archaeologyroadshow.org.
