Today’s archaeologists can see underground without digging, map objects that are hidden beneath vegetation, and tell what animal was wounded by a spear point! Is this magic or the science of archaeology?
The Archaeological Society of Central Oregon invites you to explore the topic of archaeology -- the study of people from the past. Archaeologists learn about past cultures by studying the artifacts left behind; a sherd of broken pottery, a stone tool, a broken wagon wheel. By uncovering and studying the evidence of past lives, archaeologists discover many things about their culture -- from what they ate and how they lived, to the environment in which they made their homes. Join us as we:
Examine and analyze artifacts.
“I’m an archaeologist, not a magician, but I can see why you might be confused.”

Local author Eileen Tannich Gose shares her "Read & Write" book: Ancient People of the Lake, inspired by a local archaeological site! Participants will learn to create a five sentence story using the book, and take home a copy for free!
Ancient People of the Lake is a Read & Write book based on archeological information from an ancient Early Holocene site inside Newberry Crater at Paulina Lake, Oregon. The Paulina Lake site was a temporary summer camp where foragers processed food and plants, as well as obsidian for tools. The Paulina Lake site is especially important because archaeologists uncovered remains of a 9,500 year-old dwelling, one of the oldest houses in the United States. Later, the remains of the Paulina Lake site were fairly well preserved by two feet of ash from the explosion of Mt. Mazama 7,500 years ago.
A Read & Write Book shows how to create a five sentence story. The five sentences alone make a complete story, including the character(s), setting, problem, and solution. Then, by adding a few more sentences under each introductory sentence, the story becomes more interesting, and a five sentence story can transform into a five paragraph story.
