Spokane Archaeology Day

Join us for the 6th Annual Spokane Archaeology Day, a free outdoor event celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Inland Northwest.

• Learn flintknapping to make stone tools
• Study animal bones through zooarchaeology
• See archaeological illustration up close
• Learn about Asian American history in the Inland NW
• And much more!

Spokane Archaeology Day promotes the education and celebration of the archaeology, historic preservation, and cultural heritage of the Inland Northwest and Columbia Plateau. It offers a unique chance to experience the methods archaeologists use to uncover the past and understand our shared history.
