The camp will introduce students to the concepts of archaeology through hands-on investigation and research. Students will learn how to research, plan, excavate, and process artifacts at Pope’s Tavern Museum. Archaeology can help students grasp concepts relating to mathematics, history, geology, chemistry, social science, and more; this camp will use archaeological processes for teaching the methods of archaeology and the history of the Pope’s Tavern site. Hands-on activities that relate to these subjects, including mapping, excavation, sketching, interpretation, and artifact processing, will make up the majority of the camp.

The Registration Fee is $25 per student. You may pay online or in person at the KD Art Center, 217 E. Tuscaloosa Street, Florence. The Registration Fee is non-refundable.

This program is sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts and Museums.
