Bonus entry: Fernbank offers archeology weekend

I actually went through my Gmail inbox and pulled out interesting products or Web sites that I thought you guys would like. So they probably won’t spark great debates but I just wanted to share them.

Fernbank Museum of Natural History is hosting a day of hands-on activities looking at how archeology works. On Saturday, May 1 from 10 to 2 p.m., kids can:

• Act like an archaeologist and sift through dirt and sand to find artifacts, and try piecing them back together.

• Enjoy hands-on activities guided by real archaeologists.

• Learn more about this special project between the Flat Rock Archive, local archaeologists and Georgia State University students.

• See ancient pottery recreationist Patrick Severts at work and create your own clay masterpiece to take home.

• Discover how ancient weapons were created using primitive tools and technologies.

• Darts, spear heads, and a variety of other tools will be on display and many more things.

All Archaeology Day activities are included with Museum admission. Museum admission is $15 for adults, $14 for students and seniors, $13 for children ages 3 to 12, and free for children under 3 and for Museum members. Purchase tickets at fernbankmuseum.org or by calling 404.929.6400. Fernbank Museum of Natural History is located at 767 Clifton Road in Atlanta.

I think I may take Walsh to this. He would love it!
