ARTIFACT IDENTIFICATION DAY

Have you found any artifacts on your property or other private lands? Are you unsure of what you?ve found? On Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024, 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. Please remember that artifacts should only be ethically collected on private property with the landowner?s written permission.

This program will be offered from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Participants should check in at the museum for this special program before heading to our Archaeology Lab for the identification experience! If you want a more itemized program, please do bring small plastic bags to separate the artifacts, sharpies to mark the bags, along with a pen and paper to takes notes.
