Mock Excavation at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology

Kids of all ages are welcome to participate in a free, hands-on learning event as part of Mississippi Archaeology Month. Under the direction of staff from Mississippi State's Cobb Institute of Archaeology, children will participate in a simulated archaeological dig, where they will actively learn about archaeology, including tools, techniques and items found during an excavation. Light refreshments will be served, and the Lois Dowdle Cobb Museum of Archaeology will be open throughout the event.
