Archaeologists solve mysteries of the past at ITC
(Sept. 27, 2002)--The Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC) presents "Lab Detectives: Seeking Clues from the Past," a working archaeological laboratory featuring a lab detective who will be on duty from 9 a.m. to noon, every Tuesday through Friday in October during Texas Archaeology Month.
Although most people know that archaeologists dig or excavate to uncover articles from the past, few know how these clues are used to solve the mysteries of human behavior. Come discover these processes as a lab detective works in the laboratory processing and analyzing artifacts such as projectile points from Texas archaeological sites.
ITC, one of the three campuses of the University of Texas at San Antonio, is an educational center concerned with the history and diverse cultures of Texas. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., ITC is located in downtown San Antonio.
Admission is $5 for adults; $2 for children (3-12); $3 for seniors (65+) and military (with I.D.); and free for UTSA students and staff with UTSA ID and children 2 and under.
For more information call (210) 458-2300 or visit the Institute
of Texan Cultures Web site.
