Sunday 1-4 Amazing #Archaeology Fair @ #Harvard in #CambridgeMA
"Venture on archaeological expeditions around the world in this annual event for all ages. Talk with #archaeologists who study ancient Egyptians, Incas, prehistoric peoples, and others.

Discover cave art made by Neanderthals and other early humans, and learn how mummies’ names reveal secrets of Egyptian “tomb recycling.” Discover these and other surprises during this popular event.
Regular museum admission rates apply. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture."
