Archaeology Roadshow: Southern Oregon

Join us for the 1st annual Archaeology Roadshow in Southern Oregon on Thursday, August 20. Immerse yourself in the heritage of our region while engaging with archaeologists and heritage specialists representing universities, tribes, federal and state agencies, companies, and nonprofit organizations. The Roadshow is partnering with Southern Oregon Laboratory of Archaeology and The Southern Oregon Historical Society to merge their annual Archaeology Day fair with this event series.

The Roadshow also invites visitors to bring personal objects (stone tools, pottery, animal bones) they wish to know more about. We’ll have a panel of experts on hand who will help interpret your find. No financial appraisals are given.  

This family friendly event gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn more about Oregon’s past and its connections to us today.
