Spokane Archaeology Day Let’s face it, we’ve all dreamed about how cool it would be to be paid to dig in the dirt in far-flung locales around the world, trying to piece together the remnants of ancient history. While most of us (sadly) won’t become professional archaeologists, we can live that fantasy just a little at this daylong family-oriented event. Spokane Archaeology Day, hosted inside and outside the MAC, consists of scholarly lectures, hands-on activities and more. Universities, tribal groups and stage agencies are among the organizations participating in this year’s event. Get to work at a mock excavation site, try your hand at flintknapping, using stone tools, identifying fossils, conducting an archaeological survey and much more. Lecture topics on the day’s schedule include underwater discoveries, ancient plant food diversity, radiocarbon dating along the Columbia River and uncovering regional Indigenous history.
