Archaeology Day
Saturday July 13
10:00am
Children can get their hands dirty playing the role of an archaeologist conducting a typical excavation, then mould clay into a coil pot like those used by prehistoric peoples. Adults and children alike can work with real artifacts to learn how to clean and catalogue recovered items. Throughout the day there will be demonstrations of low-tech fire starting and firing clay pots. As well, members of the Ottawa Chapter of the Ontario Archaeological Society (OAS) will be on hand to discuss and explain local archaeology and history.
7:00pm: Where the Past Meets the Present - An Overview on Local and Regional Archaeology
Archaeologist André Miller will give a multi-media presentation on the Prehistory and History of Bonnechere Provincial Park and an overview Ottawa Valley Prehistory. He will also provide general information on archaeology and the OAS.
