Archaeology Day

Every Fourth Saturday of the month, 8am-noon
At Mission Garden, in the Youth Garden
This event is FREE. No RSVP necessary. All gifts are appreciated.

At our monthly (fourth Saturday) Archaeology Day, representatives of Tucson's archaeology community come to Mission Garden to teach practical hands-on skills. Allen Denoyer of Archaeology Southwest will be doing their Hands-on Archaeology program. It allows kids of all ages to try out fascinating ancient technologies. It might be etching shell, or painting with natural pigments, or throwing spears with atl-atls. Old Pueblo Archaeology Center is represented at these events, also presenting interactive programs about things like pinch pots, pendants, and cordage. John Palacio speaks about and demonstrates making replicas of petroglyphs. Come join in any time between 8am and noon.
