What is Marquette Archaeology Bingo?
We’re yelling “Bingo!” across Marquette County! This year is the 10th anniversary of International Archaeology Day. Out of thousands of participants, Marquette Regional History Center is thrilled to be one of 45 world-wide Long Term Collaborators listed by the Archaeological Institute of America. Yet, this year, keeping our community safe means we can’t hold our fair.
So we’re challenging you to become a community archaeologist with MRHC Archaeological Bingo! Each space on your Bingo card has an archaeological challenge for you to complete. Complete five in a row and you have a Bingo, along with a chance to win great prizes. You can complete any or all rows on your card for more chances to win, and discover archaeology in your own backyard and beyond. Marquette Archaeology Bingo is great for families or individuals across a broad range of ages. You can turn in entries physically, virtually, or both. The game runs throughout the month of October and will require you to go outside. $15 purchases a bingo card, one day museum admission for those in your household participating, and a prize! Game runs October 1-30, 2020. This program is supported in part by the Community Foundation of Marquette County.
To participate: Come to the MRHC between October 1-29 to get your bingo card and start your bingo game. Curbside bingo card pick up also available.
Virtual bingo cards available above; click View Product for purchase and to start your game.
What is archaeology?
Archaeology is finding out about past human behavior by studying the material evidence left behind.
Why is it important?
⦿ To study the human past across space and time
⦿ Reconstruct past human behavior and ways of life.
⦿ Understand past cultural systems (social, economic, political, religious) and how they changed through time.
⦿ Help conserve the fragile material record of past peoples and interpret this heritage for people today.
⦿ Bring the story of the human past to the public for enjoyment, education, and even practical use.
What is an artifact?
It is: an object made by a human being. It often may belong to an earlier time or be significant.
Yet, not all artifacts are precious or whole. They do tell a story.
