Pigments of the Past
In this workshop, students will explore how archaeology helps to uncover the intersections of art, culture, and the environment. We'll learn about natural pigments, get our hands dirty with a fun creative exercise, and gain a better understanding of how the science of archaeology can help shape our understanding of the relationship between people and place.
Stories and Stewardship: What Archaeology Teaches Us
Many origin stories and legends have long held vital knowledge about the cultures of the past, sustainable living, and land stewardship. In this workshop, students will become "archaeologists" as they learn to excavate and interpret cultural materials. Through historical documents, material culture, and the oral history of descendants, we can better understand how to honor the rich heritage of indigenous communities in California and beyond.
Digging Into Botany
Step into the shoes of an archaeobotanist! In the workshop, students will discover how plant fragments provide insight into how people relied on and connected with the environment in the past. Through careful observation and inference, students will practice archaeological reasoning to increase their understanding of the intersections between nature and culture.
