The Science of Archaeology Science! Did you know archaeology is considered a science? From the mountains to the coast, archaeologists in North Carolina rely on a variety of scientific approaches and technological advances to examine our state’s rich history and preserve it for future generations. Join us for a virtual exploration of terrestrial and underwater archaeology throughout North Carolina’s unique landscapes! Learn about the tools we use to investigate and document the lives of people whose voices can no longer be heard and how we protect our state’s vibrant and diverse past. Our week-long virtual event is part of the North Carolina Science Festival, celebrating the economic, educational, and cultural impacts of science in North Carolina. Be sure to check out all the events happening in April throughout the state!
