September to be Celebrate Nebraska Archaeology Month 2014
LINCOLN – The Nebraska Association of Professional Archaeologists (NAPA) announces “Celebrate Nebraska Archaeology Month” this September. “September is an exciting opportunity for all archaeology-lovers, from amateur to the professional,” said NAPA President Cynthia Wiley. “We will celebrate the rich history of archaeology in this state and how it has contributed to our knowledge of the past in Nebraska and beyond.”
The Nebraska 2014 Archaeology Month poster will be unveiled at the Nebraska Artifact Show at the Seward County Fairgrounds in Seward on Saturday, August 16, 2014 following the presentation at 1:30pm by Jeffrey J. Richner. This year’s poster focuses on using new technologies to explore historical travel and settlement in Nebraska.
Archaeology will be the topic of the University of Nebraska State Museum’s “Sunday with a Scientist” on September 21, 2014, 1:30-4:30pm in Lincoln and a guided hike series at Hudson-Meng Education and Research Center near Crawford. Speaker presentations and other events are scheduled at museums and locales throughout Nebraska during the month. Many events are free to the public.
Events are still in the planning stages and communities across the state are encouraged to get involved. See www.nebraskaarchaeologymonth.blogspot.com for a calendar of events near you.
Celebrate Nebraska Archaeology is a month-long exploration of Nebraska’s archaeological past. It engages professional archaeologists and the citizens of Nebraska in activities showing the archaeological richness of our State in order to encourage a new generation of archaeologists and give citizens a greater appreciation of archaeological site stewardship.
