CREATE YOUR OWN ATLATL

On Saturday, May 31st, registered visitors to Poverty Point World Heritage Site are invited to take part in a ranger-led workshop to create their own atlatl. A ranger will walk visitors through the process of making this ancient spear-throwing device. Visitors will be able to test their newly-made tool after the program.

The program will take place in and around the Archeological Laboratory from 10 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Participants must be at least fourteen years or older to participate. Interested participants can register by calling 318-926-5492 or by emailing [email protected]. There is a maximum registration of 10 participants.
