Archeology in Louisiana

What lies beneath Louisiana's swampy soil? Head to the Capitol Park Museum for an exploration of excavation—Archeology Day, in celebration of Archeology Month. Make clay pots using ancient techniques, test your skills using an ancient spear-thrower (atlatl), weave a mat using palm fronds, use a pump drill to make a pendant, and participate in a mock dig. 10 am–2 pm. Free and open to the public. For more on related events around the state, visit the Louisiana Division of Archeology online at crt.state.la.us/cultural-development/.
