Explore a mock archaeological dig in this hands-on program for ages 8-11.

During the dig participants will work together to excavate and analyze an archaeological site. The dig will be hands on so a willingness to get your hands a little dirty is a must and good attention to detail will be helpful. The instructor will be actively guiding the group through exercises with mostly verbal instructions but written field notes. Caregivers are welcome to stay but not required.
