Our goal is to provide the public with an opportunity to experience archaeology and learn about what is involved in excavation and the recording of features and artifacts. It is anticipated that more will be learned about each museum site as a result of the digs. Pre-register and plan to discover new artifacts that will enrich the story of each museum site.
