Archaeology CafĂ© (Phoenix): Pottery…A Direct Link to Our Past

February 17, 2015 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

On February 17, 2015, traditional potters and educators Jacob Butler and Ron Carlos (Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community) will share their perspectives on heritage and connecting to the past.

Archaeology Café is an informal forum where adults can learn more about the Southwest’s deep history and speak directly to experts. We have based Archaeology Café on the science pub or science cafe model that developed in Europe and quickly spread to major American cities. At Archaeology Café, we break down the static, jargon-laden dynamic of traditional lectures, and have an expert share some ideas with the group in ways that get discussion going. (Food and drink make things a little livelier, too.)

The program is free, but participants are encouraged to order their own refreshments. Although kids may attend with adult supervision, Archaeology Cafés are best for adults and young adults.

If accommodation is needed due to disability, please contact Linda Pierce by email or phone, (520) 882-6946, ext. 23.

The 2014–2015 season of Archaeology Café is made possible, in part, by Arizona Humanities.
