Make your own pottery to take home at the International Archaeology Day Open House!

See how ancient people made stone arrowheads at the International Archaeology Day Open House!

Tucson’s nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center invites you to celebrate International Archaeology Day on Saturday, October 15, 2016, 9am to 1pm. Join us for a fun-filled day of hands-on archaeology activities for children and adults alike, including participating in a simulated archaeological excavation, playing games, making crafts, and watching demonstrations. Come try your hand at creating your own petroglyph, playing traditional games, and more. Watch a flintknapper show how to make an arrowhead! Play traditional Native American calendar-stick and other games on the ground, color artifacts on coloring pages, grind corn using an ancient metate and mano, practice bopping bunnies with rabbit-throwing-sticks! Learn how to make your own petroglyphs, hand-built pottery, stone jewelry, cordage and agave rope, and dance rattles that you can take home!

No reservations are needed. For more information contact Old Pueblo Archaeology Center at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.
