Archeological Event - Artifact Cleaning at Oxmoor Farm

720 Oxmoor Avenue,Louisville KY 40222

27 April, 2023

Description

Oxmoor – Wash Nights – Thursday, April 20, 2023 and Thursday, April 27, 2023 (5-7:30pm) Come and learn what happens after archaeologists excavate! Did you know that we (archaeologists) don’t spend all that much time excavating? Only about 25% of our time is spent excavating. Much more time is spent washing artifacts and cataloging them to learn what they can tell us about the past. And a great deal of time is spent writing about what we have learned! Join KAS archaeologists at Oxmoor to wash and learn about the artifacts we have been excavating at the extant slave dwellings on the Farm. Stay as long or as little as you like. Please wear old clothing that can get both wet and dirty. Bottled water and refreshments will be provided.  This is a FREE event but you do need to signup to reserve your spot.  Space is limited to only 12!
