Beyond the pages of history, our past can also be discovered by examining the things people have left behind.  During our week of exploration and examination in archaeology camp, we will get our hands dirty identifying objects ranging from 80 to 8,000 years old.  After carefully handling actual spear points, we will attempt to manufacture our own stone tools using ancient techniques.  From studying soils and excavating, to manufacturing and using ancient weapons, we will learn about the past with our hands and our minds.  Like Indiana Jones, along with your Fedora hat and bullwhip, bring your curiosity and good energy as you spend a week training in the techniques and methodologies of an archaeologist.
