1st Saturdays at Town Creek: Sand Art Stratigraphy

-
Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site, 509 Town Creek Mound Rd, Mount Gilead, NC 27306

Learn about stratigraphy by modeling the soil layers at Town Creek. Over time, soil and artifacts layer on top of each other to form a timeline. Studying soil layers is one way that archaeologists can find out the age of an artifact. By making a model, you can learn about all the people who came to Town Creek for thousands of years. The workshop is offered at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm; $3 per person.  Proceeds benefit The Friends of Town Creek Indian Mound Inc., which supports programs at Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site.
