Archaeology Works: Food

Time: 10:00 am til 12:00 pm

Location: Weedon Island Preserve, 1800 Weedon Dr NE St. Petersburg, 33702

Description: The foods we eat say a lot about who we are; one family’s comfort food might be another’s worst nightmare! Just like other artifacts that archaeologists find, food remains can say a lot about past people’s diet, environment, and culture. Learn how archaeologists study tiny bits of food to learn about people in the past, then try your hand at identifying different animal bones and seeds that might have made up an ancient meal.
