Take a behind-the-scenes visit to a museum laboratory that helps archaeologists identify the animal bones found in their excavations.

Researchers who study animal remains from ancient human-occupation sites (zooarchaeologists) demonstrate how this is done using skeletons of modern animals. If you have found a bone in your backyard, bring it with you and get it identified!

A favorite archaeology event for children and for home-schoolers!

Recommended for ages 8 and up accompanied by an adult.
