    ​LIVING ARCHAEOLOGY WEEKEND​​​

    Kentucky's Oldest and Largest Public Archaeology Event

     building bridges to the past through technology

     

    Living Archaeology Weekend is an award-winning and nationally recognized public archaeology event. The free, two-day program offers high-quality educational experiences for schools (Friday) and the public (Saturday). Demonstrations focus on American Indian and pioneer technologies and the archaeological evidence that tells us about those lifeways. LAW is held the third weekend of September at the Gladie Visitor Center in the beautiful Red River Gorge of eastern Kentucky, in the heart of a National Register of Historic Places district.
