ABOUT THE PROGRAM
There’s so much to see and do at the Skirball’s simulated outdoor archaeological dig and field laboratory!
Slip on an archaeologist’s vest, sift and sort through sand to find hidden ancient artifacts, weigh and examine your findings, analyze clues, and work with archaeology staff to piece together the puzzles found in a Near Eastern Iron Age town.
