Archaeology Works Expo

Time: 4:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Crystal River Archaeological State Park

Description: Join Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) at an Archaeology Works Expo, September 5th from 4 – 6pm before Moon Over The Mounds. Kids and adults attending will have the chance to participate in lots of hands-on activities from all of FPAN’s Archaeology Works workshops on topics like: prehistoric pottery, hunting technology, shell tools, ancient diets, and much more! Children and adults will experience archaeology in various ways, ranging from the methods archaeologists use to learn about the past to recreating some of the technologies of Crystal River’s earliest inhabitants. Along with the Archaeology Works activities, participants can learn to use the prehistoric spear thrower or “atlatl” and watch a demonstration of dugout canoe construction. Come early for the Open House and Expo and stick around for the Moon over the Mounds tour when the sun goes down.
