Dive into Archaeology

Time: 4:30 pm til 5:30 pm

Location: Upper Tampa Bay Regional Library, 11211 Countryway Blvd, Tampa 33626

Description: Brief Description of Show: Archaeologists don’t just work on land, they also try to learn about past people through the things they left behind underwater! In this fun and educational program, kids learn about the basics of archaeology as well as some of Florida’s important shipwrecks. Archaeologists from the Florida Public Archaeology Network at USF will give a short presentation on underwater archaeology and shipwrecks, then kids get to participate in hands-on activities that teach them about the archaeological process: shipwreck on a tarp (kids learn how archaeologists map and record shipwrecks underwater and get to try it out themselves) and build-a-boat (kids learn about the parts of a boat, build their own, and test it out).
Price: Free
