2023 Discovering Archaeology Day

On April 8 Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in St. Leonard, Maryland, held its Discovering Archaeology Day at the MAC Lab.  Many archaeological organizations from around the area, including CCASM,  had tables with hands-on activities and displays.  Several activities including an Artifact ID station were inside the MAC Lab.  There were also tours to Sukey's Cabin, hay rides, a bingo game to earn an archaeology hat, and much more. The rain held off, the sun was out, and it was a great day to learn about archaeology.  Over 325 people came to the event.

CCASM had its HITS display and the Archaeologist Dig for Clues" activity where people could discover what can be learned from trash, especially if you also know the location where it was recovered.

and CCASM
Do you know where
this could have been found?
And what do you think?


Representing CCASM

Thanks to Pat, Elsie, Mary, Peggy, and Carol who represented CCASM at the event.  
With so many we all got a chance to visit the other tables at the event.   It's always a great event to learn more about archaeology, to get ideas, and to interact with others.
