Archeology Dig! at Redpath Museum

For mois d'archéologie: Learn how archeologists survey, excavate and restore archeological finds! Join us for an archeological ‘dig’ and a “pot restoration” workshop. Bring your own digging tools like garden trowels and hand hoes. Immerse yourself in a hands-on, interactive archaeological dig introduced by Michelle Della Corte.  Michelle majored in Classical Civilization (in which Archaeology is a huge component) and Anthropology.  Participants will learn about archeological tools, methods and the techniques used to uncover the artifacts from the past. They will go to an outdoor simulated archaeological site near the Museum to uncover buried artifacts—recording and cataloging each as it is uncovered. Once the artifacts are uncovered, they will return to the Museum to piece together and identify their finds.
