NMDCA News:

The New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies is hitting the road to show and explain New Mexico history in a hands-on exhibit at community libraries and schools statewide. 

We’re bringing history home for New Mexicans. We will have one of three programs at each library: either a rock art lesson and make-your-own-petroglyph activity, a lesson on Native American ceramics with a paint-a-replica-potsherd activity, or a lesson on archaeology and New Mexico history.  

1–3 p.m., May 18, Placitas Library, visitors will play a traditional Native American game and create a copy to take home.

May 31, Clayton Library “Dinosaur Days.” We’ll bring a program on Pleistocene megafauna (mammoths! Giant sloths!) and the technology people used to hunt them, which will be part of a town festival  

The program is free to all schools across the state. For more information on this free program, contact Ziggy Prothro, Education Coordinator with the Office of Archaeological Studies, ziggy.prothro@dca.nm.gov, or 505.476.4421.
