Curated Conversations for Curious Minds: Introduction to Archaeology:

Introduction to Archaeology, presented by the Archaeological Research Institute, is an engaging overview of how archaeologists study people through the objects, spaces, and landscapes they leave behind. Using real artifacts, everyday environments, and local examples from the tri-state region, the presentation shows how evidence is interpreted to tell human stories from the past. Participants also learn what archaeologists do, why preservation matters, and how communities can get involved in protecting cultural heritage. 6 p.m. Thurs., Nov. 19, Hidden Valley Community Center. Adults.
