Public Archaeology Event – February 26, 2012

Our team of Stanford volunteers

The Market Street Chinatown Archaeology Project is holding another Public Archaeology Event on Sunday, February 26th! This hands-on event is designed to introduce children from 4 to 12 and their families to archaeology. Children will participate in “mock” excavations and study authentic archaeological artifacts to learn about San Jose’s hidden history. It is a fun and educational event for the entire family! This event is FREE and open to the general public.
