Would you like to learn more about early pottery in early Indiana? Join us for Archaeology Day on September 12 at 10:30 a.m. USI Professor of Anthropology, Michael Syrezewski, will be here to give a presentation on pioneer-era production of redware pottery in Indiana. Redware was the first Euroamerican-type pottery made in southern Indoana. It was largely used for utilitarian, in-house purposes. Excavations and studies of surviving redware vessels can give us insight into how this pottery was made and used within early nineteenth century households.
We also welcome County native Derrick Haas to share his knowledge on Archaeology.
Please join us for this special presentation.
