Dig Into Discovery With Experimental Archaeology

The Experimental Archaeology program will be held Saturday, June 14, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Parker Annex Archaeology Center, in Columbia. This free, hands-on experience invites participants ages 8 to 18 to explore ancient skills by making cordage with raffia and crafting a pump drill using craft supplies. Participants can then test their pump drills by making beads from Smarties candy. All completed crafts can be taken home.

While the program is designed for ages 8 to 18, younger children may also participate. All supplies are provided, and activities will take place in the center’s outdoor covered breezeway. Parents or guardians must remain with minors at all times.

Location: 2025 Barnwell St., Columbia. For more information, visit Eventbrite.com/e/experimental-archaeology-
