NMDCA News:

We’re taking New Mexico Archaeology on the road to your hometown soon with a hands-on experience.

We’re bringing history home for New Mexicans. We will have one of three programs at each library: either a rock art lesson and make-your-own-petroglyph activity, a lesson on Native American ceramics with a paint-a-replica-potsherd activity, or a lesson on archaeology and New Mexico history.

Upcoming events:

• 2-4 p.m., June 4, LaFarge Library, Santa Fe, Create your own petroglyph.
• 2-3 p.m., June 5, Alamogordo Library, Alamogordo, NM, Afternoon Adventures, in which we explore hobbies and jobs. All ages. We’ll bring “What’s in an Archaeologist’s Bag,” an exploration of how and why we do our jobs.
• 2-4 p.m., June 11, Santa Fe Southside Library. Look at ancient and modern ceramics and paint your own replica potsherd.
• 9:30-11:20 a.m., June 17, rock art program – create your own petroglyph.
