Saturday Sampler Tour | Archaeology

This image is a combination of two photographs. The top photograph was taken in the earlier 20th century and is black and white. It shows a cone-shaped piece of green glass with dark blue dashes decorating the glass about an inch from the rim. At the bottom of the cone, one can barely make out a few dice crammed in the bottom with some dirt. This is a photograph showing the cone as it was found- with the bone dice inside. The bottom photograph is a modern color photograph of the cone with the dice now spread out outside of the coin. This image is a combination of two photographs.

When you visit the Kelsey Museum, do you find yourself wondering how the artifacts on display were excavated? What techniques were used in the 1920s versus today? What can an artifact really tell us about the life of someone who lived thousands of years ago and very far away? On this tour, we’ll answer these questions by looking closely at artifacts from the ancient Near East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. Plus, you don’t want to miss the drone and earth resistance meter on display in Urban Biographies — two pieces of cutting-edge technology used by University of Michigan archaeologists in the field.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.
