Ever have a hankering to follow in the footsteps of Indiana Jones? Well, now
you can. This week at sites around the state, archaeologists are inviting the
Ohioans to participate in some hands-on activities that let you be the scientist,
as part of Ohio Archaeology Week. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History will
hold an Archaeology Day this Saturday, where you can watch a demonstration of
flint-knapping or learn to cast an ancient spear thrower called an atlatl. But
for those who crave the real, dirt-grubbing experience, there's a special opportunity
available through the museum every summer. That's a field school, where anyone
can join a team of excavators on an archaeological dig. Karen Schaefer brings
us this report from a prehistoric village site in Independence. |
