<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">As most of you know, the <i>Archaeology Roadshow</i> is a multi-hour fair-like experience where professional and avocational archaeologists and heritage specialists from federal and state agencies, Tribes, professional
 and avocational organizations, private companies and university students create temporary exhibits and hands-on activities related to recent projects taking place across our state, to educate the public about the importance of heritage in our own backyards. 
 Besides our “pop-up” exhibits, we host an artifact identification component where experts in material culture are on hand to analyze and interpret personal treasures brought in by the public in a non-judgmental way.  Our events create a space for meaningful
 dialogue about the ethical and legal implications of artifact collecting; and at the same time, give visitors of all ages the chance to learn more about Oregon’s past and its connections to us today.
