Although it's mid-January, it's time to start thinking about the Montana Archaeology Month for this April. Last year we had many fabulous events across the state! Please let Helen Keremedjiev know what you would like to do in your local community by January 31st. You are responsible for organizing your event, including a presentation topic and venue location.
We will list the events on the MAS brochure, which is sent to museums, schools, and MAS members throughout Montana. The events will also be posted here on the MAS website and our MAS Facebook page.
Montana Archaeology Month is an annual celebration that encourages Montanans to learn more about the rich cultural and archaeological heritage of our state. Exhibits, lectures, demonstrations, and other activities are scheduled throughout the state at museums, historic sites, state parks, libraries, and universities to celebrate this special month.
Montana Archaeology Month is coordinated by the Montana Archaeological Society and supported by the Montana State Historic Preservation Office.
Each year, Archaeology Month has a different theme and poster. The theme for 2011 is Joining Hands to Steward Our Past.
Jennifer Woodcock designed the Archaeology Month Poster for Archaeology Month 2011.
If you would like a copy of this poster, or previous years posters contact Damon Murdo at the State Historic Preservation Office dmurdo@mt.gov.
