Prehistoric Pottery

A ranger-led demonstration of crafting prehistoric-styled pottery similar to the pieces which the Native Americans fashioned more than 3,500 years ago set for Saturday, October 9, 2021. The event will begin with the demonstration at 10:30 a.m., followed by an opportunity for visitors to make their own pottery. The program will end at noon, so participants are encouraged to bring a lunch and enjoy the rest of their day touring the site. Attendees can try their hand at creating items such as figurines, decorated artistic objects, coiled clay pots, and clay pipes inspired by those that have been excavated from the site. All of the clay and other materials needed for making this primitive pottery will be provided, so no special equipment is required except your hands and creativity. It is recommended to wear or bring appropriate clothes for working with potentially messy clay.
