On Saturday, Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., archaeologists from across the state will gather in a parking lot of the Michigan History Center in a special outdoor edition of the annual Michigan Archaeology Day program.
People of all ages are invited to come learn about investigations and buried artifacts that tell the story of 14,000 years of Michigan history.
Learn how to throw spears using a atlatl, hear about the history of World War II Tuskegee airmen and the recovery of a plane in Lake Huron, visit the Michigan History Museum and show your small finds to our panel of "archaeology roadshow" experts.
Bookmark or download the full schedule of events from the Michigan Archaeology Day website. It is sized to be viewed during the event on a smart phone or digital device.
Michigan Archaeology Day is a joint program of the Michigan History Center and the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office. This year's event is made possible by support from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
