Through the Lens of Archaeology
Learn about the archaeology going on in our province. What do you do if you accidently find an artifact? How do archaeologists learn how to excavate? This tour will examine the field of archaeology, and what it can tell us about the history of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Tour is approximately 30 – 40 minutes and included in the cost of admission.
