ARTIFACT IDENTIFICATION DAY
Have you found any prehistoric artifacts like projectile points, beads, plummets, pottery, or ceramic objects you can?t identify? On Saturday, Feb. 8 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 do bring small plastic bags to separate the artifacts, sharpies to mark the bags, along with a pen and paper to takes notes.
