Celebrate the archaeology and heritage of the Columbia River Gorge at this family-friendly event featuring 25+ pop-up exhibits, hands-on activities, and demonstrations from archaeologists, tribes, museums, and community partners. This year’s theme, “The Archaeology of Art & Craft,” explores artisan traditions — both in past records (archaeology, history, oral traditions) and in the living heritage art forms and traditions passed down through generations.

Visitors can bring up to three personal artifacts for identification by experts (no financial appraisals). Enjoy Indian tacos and huckleberry treats from Something Else Fry Bread.

The Archaeology Roadshow began in 2012 on PSU's campus, and has spread across Oregon.
