It's the last official week of Iowa Archaeology Month! There are still plenty of events happening, and it looks like the weather is finally clearing up a bit for people to enjoy sites and parks! We're still looking for some competitors to visit and hashtag Iowa archaeological sites and exhibits across Iowa for a chance to win an apparel and accessories package, so don't forget to let us know if you're playing!
Because the Iowa Archaeology Month theme is "Archaeology in Our Backyard," we thought we would re-share our "Do's and Don'ts of Artifact Collecting." This information is available on our website and occasionally as bookmarks/hand-outs at events. Because Iowa is primarily private land, we rely on our partnerships with collectors to keep our sites records updated. Context is the storyteller!
