Last week was the State Line Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Ohio (ASO) Artifact Show. Here at ARI, we work to bridge the gap between collectors and archaeologists by ensuring everything we do is accessible to people from all backgrounds. One of the ways we do this is by being a part of the show and participating in a round-table event. We use the round-table to educate attendees about ethical collecting, our mission, and current research.
We also host an afterparty for ASO Members and show table holders, made possible with the support of the Kirkwood Family.
Thank you to our team who stays late to make connections and educate the public. And thank you to the attendees who not only share fascinating stories but also teach us things along the way.

This is NOT your typical fall festival! 🎃🚀

Sure, there are pumpkins. But at Pumpkin STEM, you can also watch pumpkins fly from a real trebuchet, explore hands-on STEM activities, and discover experimental archaeology.

It’s a fall festival with a little more science, history, and curiosity built in.
Come see what makes Pumpkin STEM different at Carriage Farm on November 7th from 11 AM-6 PM.
