The special exhibit Clues to the Past: Archaeology in Virginia is now open through January 1, 2011 in The Harvest Foundation Great Hall at the Virginia Museum of Natural History. The exhibit, which  showcases specimens up to 11,500 years old, provides insight into the field of archaeology, including the scientific processes and excavation methods. In addition, the exhibit gives visitors a look into four separate archaeological sites that represent different time periods throughout Virginia's history. The exhibit consists of 5 column cases, each presenting a different area within the field archaeology. Visitors first discover the basics of what archaeology is, the different archaeological methods, and how scientific conclusions are formed. Call 276-634-4161 or email debbie.lewis@vmnh.virginia.gov to learn more about exhibit sponsorship opportunities.
