UConn’s Department of Anthropology, the Office of State Archaeology, and the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Connecticut Archaeology Center at UConn hosts the 2016 Connecticut Archaeology Fair. The fair will take place at UConn’s Wilbur Cross Building in the South Reading Room, Saturday, October 15, 10 am to 4 pm.
Celebrate Archaeology Month and learn about the many UConn archaeological investigations going on around the state and internationally. Local archaeological societies, historical societies, and universities will have displays highlighting past and current excavations and research with opportunities to see and touch real artifacts! Lectures and kid-friendly activities will take place throughout the day. Have questions about archaeology? There will be archaeologists on hand to provide answers. Whether you have a passing interest in archaeology or you want to find out how to become more involved, there will be something for everyone.
This program is free with a suggested $5 donation for ages 18 and over.
