Events and Talks
Have an interest in archaeology or want to know how to explore a career related to archaeology? Let ARI archaeologists walk you through the local history and how we explore that history. Our talks and events will give you an inside look at what archaeologists do, how we represent Native Americans as people with a past, and how to practice stewardship of our historical sites and natural resources.
Intro to Archaeology Talk
Archaeology is the study of humans through the “stuff” that they left behind and can answer questions about trade, technology, food, habits, or past environments. In this talk, our archaeologists will discuss archaeology as a science, common misconceptions, and the research that ARI conducts at the Guard Site in Dearborn County, Indiana.

Recommended for 8+
Length:
30min-1 hour

Minimal- seminar style with presentation and questions following or throughout
Archaeology Career Talk

We offer the possibility for one of our archaeologists to travel to themed events, such as lecture series, classrooms, libraries, or organizational meetings to give seminar-style lectures to your group or the public.
