The annual Michigan Archaeology Day will be held Saturday October 12 at the Michigan Historical Center in Lansing.

For more information on the activities visit Archaeology Day.
There will be exhibits from 20 archaeological groups including artifacts discovered during excavations. For budding archaeologists there will be three rooms filled with activities including pinch-pot making and visitors will have a chance to use an atlatl, and early spear throwing device used by Indians.
The state archaeologist Dr. Dean Anderson said visitors will go away with an understanding that “archaeology reveals how people lived in the past.”
