International Archaeology Day at Weedon Island
Visitors were engaged at International Archaeology Day with youth activities at Weedon Island Preserve. AWIARE led a special Youth Workshop on Ancient Pottery for youth ages 6 and up. They learned how 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. The workshop helped to teach youth how to form a small-coiled pot and add distinctive decorations using early techniques. We hope you can join us next year!
