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.
