Learn About Archaeology at the USU Museum of Anthropology
The Saturday activity series continues at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology. The weekend’s event teaches guests about an archeological dating method.
Activities take place Saturday, Nov. 3. Visitors can participate in an activity to create an example of “Stratigraphy” — the layering of artifacts and soil where the oldest artifacts are found on the bottom.
USU students and members of the public are invited to drop in any time during the museum’s new 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday hours.
“It’s interesting to hear how archeologists date items they find,” said museum intern Allison Willmore. “Guests will be able to make their own mini-archeological sites with stratigraphic layers.”
The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the Utah State University campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, room 252. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.
