ARCHEOLOGISTS ARE DIRT DETECTIVES who try to puzzle out the past from the artifacts and evidence left behind. During October’s San Jacinto Family Day, we’re celebrating Texas Archeology Month as well!
We’ve created puzzles using images of real artifacts found during archeological excavations at the San Jacinto Battleground. See if you can put them back together, and figure out what the object is and what it was used for, just like a real archeologist.
We will also be handing out free take-home archeology kits that include the materials to make a pinch pot.
Suitable for Kids 5 and up; younger children are welcome, but will need to have an adult to help. This activity is free with purchase of an adult ticket to the San Jacinto Museum. On San Jacinto Family Day, kids are admitted for free when accompanied by a parent or grandparent.
