The Oregon Archaeology Road Show

The 13th annual Archaeology Roadshow, held at the Deschutes Historical Museum in Bend, focuses on The Archaeology of Art and Craft and features dozens of exhibits and activities hosted by archaeologists and heritage specialists, representing universities, tribes, federal and state agencies, companies, and nonprofit organizations.

The Roadshow also invites visitors to bring personal objects (stone tools, pottery, animal bones) they wish to know more about. We’ll have a panel of experts on hand who will help interpret your find. No financial appraisals are given. A tribal welcome with kick off the event, and short presentations will be given on the hour.

This family-friendly event gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn more about Oregon’s past and its connections to us today. It is completely free and includes museum admission.
