(INDIANAPOLIS) – September is Indiana Archaeology Month.

The 26th anniversary of a statewide celebration of archaeology in Indiana starts on Wednesday.

All month long, Hoosier history buffs can meet archaeologists and learn about the state’s fascinating past. A variety of events will be offered by universities, museums, organizations, and individuals throughout the state.

Local events include:

“Archaeology Month allows Hoosiers the opportunity to learn a little about our Indiana ancestors and a lot about ourselves,” said DNR Director Bortner, who is also the State Historic Preservation Officer. “Each year the DHPA team selects a fun new theme to educate and inspire.”

This year’s them is “Cheers, Indiana! Archaeology and the Production of Hoosier Spirits.”
