Hello all!
The first annual Archaeology Fair at the Ohio Historical Society took place on October 4, 2008. As with many first ventures attendance was not “standing room only” but we are sure it will increase every year as the word gets out about this greatevent. The busiest portion of the day was during the last 2 hours as families and scout groups filed through. We thank all of the people who brought displays, all of the speakers and everyone who stopped by to see us!
Here are a few pictures:
Picture one is of Karen Leone, paleobotanist with OhioValley Archaeology and Carrie Sowden of the Peachman Lake ErieShipwreck Research Center talking to participants.

And finally, picture six is of Scott Pansing of the Maritime Archaeological Survey Team showing a family the equipment divers use.
