This weekend Geo-Marine, Inc., held their 7th Annual Plano Archeology Fair. This event is to help promote and educate the public about archeology. They were given a brief introduction to archeology and then they began working on the excavation units. Archaeologists showed them some of the excavation techniques and then they excavated using trowels and learned how to record their findings. The archaeologist explained what the artifacts they found and what clues they give us about the past.
Caleb and Abigail were able to participate in an archaeological dig. They worked in teams with professionally trained archaeologists, on the excavation of a test unit.
The event also hosted Native American Drummers and Dancers, a Flintknapping demonstration, Storytellers, Pottery demonstrations, Corn Grinding and a Petroglyph site.
