The State Museum of Pennsylvania
The Archaeology Section of The State Museum of Pennsylvania invites you to attend the newly revived Annual Workshops in Archaeology on Saturday, November 5, 2011. Designed for the non-professional, this year’s program features a review of Native American Archaeology in the Commonwealth. Recent excavations have contributed to the archaeological community’s understanding of Native peoples in Pennsylvania from our earliest occupants 16,000 years ago to European colonization during the Contact Period. Presentations will include highlights from investigations along the Susquehanna River such as the Routes 11 and 15 project around Liverpool, the Susquehanna Turnpike Bridge project, and the Lemoyne Susquehannock village. There will also be a flint knapping demonstration and artifact identification session. Closing comments by Dean Snow, PhD., Professor of Anthropology, Penn State University on the value of archaeology and the contribution of archaeology to everyday life in Pennsylvania will be followed by a reception in the Anthropology and Archaeology Gallery of The State Museum.
To view the full program agenda or to register, please download the 2011 Annual Workshops in Archaeology Program brochure (PDF)
