Today’s archaeologists can see underground without digging, map objects that are hidden beneath vegetation, and tell what animal was wounded by a spear point! Is this magic or the science of archaeology?

The Archaeological Society of Central Oregon invites you to explore the topic of archaeology -- the study of people from the past. Archaeologists learn about past cultures by studying the artifacts left behind; a sherd of broken pottery, a stone tool, a broken wagon wheel. By uncovering and studying the evidence of past lives, archaeologists discover many things about their culture -- from what they ate and how they lived, to the environment in which they made their homes. Join us as we:

Examine and analyze artifacts.

  • Understand these fragile cultural resources need to be protected.
  • Learn how archaeologists piece together the puzzles from the past.
  • Hear about technology that seems almost magical!

“I’m an archaeologist, not a magician, but I can see why you might be confused.”

Eileen Gose, Outreach Coordinator and Presenter
