Lecture with Archaeologist M. Lee Preston Jr.

Artifacts associated with Native American adaptive strategies in Howard County include projectiles, arrowheads, knife blades, stone axes, pottery and bone tools. Learn about the techniques utilized by archaeologists to find, date and preserve our prehistory. Examples of diagnostic stone and bone tools and pottery are passed around for hands-on analysis by all attendees. Sponsored by the Howard County Recreation and Parks. Fee $20.00.
