Did you know that archaeologists don’t study fossils?! Learn about ancient technologies, identify animal bones, sort shells, watch a stone tool making demonstration. Talk to Burke archaeologists and event partners as they share tabletop activities, stories about artifacts, and belongings at our museum-wide Archaeology Family Day.
