Be a part of International Archaeology Day with youth activities at Weedon Island Preserve. AWIARE will lead a special Youth Workshop on Ancient Pottery that is for youth ages 6 and up. Learn to make pottery like the ancient people who once lived at Weedon Island. Over 1,000 years ago, early potters made coiled pots out of clay and sand for cooking vessels and ceremonial functions. This workshop will teach youth how to form a small-coiled pot and add distinctive decorations using early techniques. Register on-line at Weedon Island Preserve Calendar/Classes.

SPECIAL VIDEO PRESENTATION

Weedon Island Preserve, at approximately 3,700 acres, is an ecological jewel within an urban landscape on the shores of Old Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, Florida. A refuge for native flora and fauna, Weedon Island is also one of Florida's most important cultural resources. Discover the rich human history of the Island that began thousands of years ago and witness how the environment and people support and shaped each other to produce the Preserve we know today.

This production was made possible through the support of the Friends of Weedon Island, an organization dedicated to the continuing education, protection, and preservation of the Weedon Island Preserve.
