Archaeology: Sifting Through Ohio Prehistory

by  Cleveland Museum of Natural History

Program image

Meet Mark Kollecker, a real Archaeologist who has led thousands of students and adults
on digs throughout Ohio, digging, scooping, and sifting soil to reveal the smallest of artifacts. To better understand prehistoric lifeways, Mr. Kollecker began studying experimental archaeology--trying to recreate ancient skills by studying how various artifacts may have been used. Today,
he can throw a spear with an atlatl, tan animal hides, create his own
cordage with natural fibers and is often found flint-knapping (making
dangerously sharp stone tools) in the studio!
