Lab Nights with Germanna Archaeology: Hitt Archaeology Center Open House

By Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered about what Germanna archaeologists are digging? Have you ever wanted to see what happens in an archaeology lab? Then join the Germanna Archaeology team on Thursday, March 30, 2023 from 6:00 – 7:30 in the Hitt Archaeology Center for our open house!

Director of Archaeology and Cultural Resources Dr. Eric Larsen and Site Director Kelly Arford-Horne will be discussing recent excavations at the Fort Germanna and Enchanted Castle site. You will also have the chance to explore the archaeology lab, see what we have recently found, and learn about how we process artifacts we find in the field.

This is a free public event. No registration is required. We hope to see you there!
