Join us for this unique opportunity to learn how archaeologists explore the past through hands-on, interactive activities. After an introduction to archaeology and discussion of the main principles that every archaeologist follows, we bring out our archaeology field pack and discuss the tools and steps of an archaeological dig.

Participants then have the opportunity to excavate a simulated archaeological site complete with mysteries and features. Dig a square, recover artifacts, identify and date them and discuss how they contribute to the story of what happened at the site..

Archaeologist, Craig Chartier, Director of the Massachusetts Archaeological Professionals (MAP) will be offering educational programs for children 6-12 years of age on the third Saturday of every month from 10:30-11:30 at the Robbins Museum of Archaeology in Middleboro, Massachusetts.

These programs, which include topics in archaeology, history, and science, consist of a variety of engaging hands-on activities, lively discussions, and useful handouts to further the educational experience. A fee of $7.50 for the first child and $6.00 for each additional child includes all supplies, handouts and museum admission. Parents and siblings are invited to visit the museum and enjoy MAP’s Jr. Explorers area during class time. Preregistration is required as space is limited. For more information or to preregister, visit www.parp4kids.com or contact Craig Chartier at 774-488-2095.
