Archaeology Works: Mounds and Middens
Time: 10:00 am til 12:00 pm
Location: Weedon Island Preserve, 1800 Weedon Dr NE, St Petersburg
Description: What’s the best way to learn about a person, whether they lived thousands of years ago or today? Look through their garbage of course! Archaeologists study prehistoric trash piles or middens to gain a wealth of information about the past. They also investigate purpose built mounds that still dot the Florida landscape in order to learn about prehistoric societies. Learn the difference between a mound and a midden in this fun and hands-on workshop.
Recommended for all ages.
