Event: K-12 Open House

On Saturday, February 7, from 11:00am-2:00pm, the Cotsen Institute will host its second annual Archaeology Day for K–12, welcoming students from schools across Los Angeles. This event is organized in collaboration with the undergraduate Archaeology Club and will feature hands-on activities such as a dig box, pottery reconstruction, rock art wall painting, and a photo booth.

At 1:00pm we will host the Annual Ernestine Elster Lecture in Lenart Auditorium. This year’s speaker will be Dr. Julien Riel-Salvatore (Département d’anthropologie, Université de Montréal), who will present his talk, “Red rocks, white sands, and dark caves: Snapshots of the human adventure in Paleolithic Italy".
