ARTIFACT IDENTIFICATION

Have you found any prehistoric artifacts like projectile points, beads, plummets, pottery, or ceramic objects you can't identify? On Saturday, Dec. 13th visitors are invited to share their finds as part of an Artifact ID program at Poverty Point World Heritage Site. On-site specialists will help you better understand the artifacts you find in your fields or along the banks of waterways. This program will be offered from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Participants should check in at the museum for this special program; and while waiting to speak with the specialists, take a look at some of the artifacts found at Poverty Point. If you want a more itemized program experience, please bring small plastic bags to separate the artifacts, sharpies to mark the bags, along with a pen and paper to takes notes.
