Archaeological Meeting /program, Sunday, June 28, 2 PM

The Pomme de Terre Chapter of the Missouri Archaeological Society will host a free, public program on recent discoveries in Canada, Alaska, and Norway. Among the discoveries are spears, scrapers, arrow shafts, bone tools, and other tools and weapons intact with original shafts and handles of wood, antler and bone left exposed as the northern ice has melted from the global warming trend. The age of the artifacts reach back, in many cases, thousands of years. The video also reveals northern Scandinavian artifacts from the Viking era.

The program begins at the county-owned "OLE HICKORY BUILDING" located at 22126 U.S. Highway 54 in west Hermitage. The program is on Sunday, June 28 at 2:00 PM.
Free Refreshments will be provided. A drawing for door prizes will be held. Free archaeology posters and books will be available.

Today is the beginning of our reopening at Cahokia Mounds. The Lobby (restrooms, gift shop, site model, Canoe exhibit and a new temporary exhibit) will be permanently open Wednesday through Sunday, 9 am to 3 pm, while we work to complete work in the Gallery wings (we hope to have this area open in late summer). As always, the grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset. We are very excited to begin the reopening process after several years of repairs and structural issues.
