Hello!
I'm writing to tell you about a really great free archaeology event in downtown Portland: Portland State University's Fifth Annual Archaeology Roadshow.
We're hoping to get a good showing of local non-professional history buffs (collectors, detectorists, etc.) to come out and share and learn - and hopefully some good conversation and lasting interactions will come out of it. If you would, please share with the club and anyone else who might be interested!
When: Saturday June 4th, 10 AM - 3 PM.
Where: Hoffman Hall; Portland State University Campus, 1833 SW 11th Ave -- 1 Block from the Portland Farmer's Market!
What: Large archaeology outreach event involving 100's of different community partners including local tribes, state and federal agencies, CRM firms, non-profits, students, and educators. There will be dozens of great exhibits, many of which are interactive and hands-on. Great for kids and adults alike!
Also, there will be a panel of experts that can look at any old rocks or artifacts you have found and tell you more about them! If in doubt, bring it in.
Oh, and free samples of historic beer!
This year’s theme, “Archaeology of Dwellings,” is designed to get visitors thinking about the universal importance of home, and the diversity of structures and places that fill that need. From the remains of semi-subterranean pit houses to historic Portland bungalows, these resources have stories to tell about the people who built and lived in them.
There are some more links below - in particular the Youtube video will give you a good sense of what the event is like. Feel free to contact me at plum2@pdx.edu if you have any questions, and hope to see you out there!
