Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's fall lecture series!

Did you miss any of the talks? Good news! Most are available on our YouTube channel, including An Evening with Vanessa Jennings: Kiowa Cradelboards, Culture, and Tradition.

Recent Addition to the Collection
We want to thank  Brown  Professor of Anthropology Lina Fruzzetti for her donation to our collection!

This basket was produced by the Saneme tribe, and bought in Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela. Professor Fruzzetti was there with the Brown University Leadership Alliance and  Cornell University  in 1998, teaching students about ethnographic methodology and field work.

This is just one example of Professor Fruzzetti's contribution. Follow us on Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram for more recent acquisitions, behind-the-scenes peaks, and more!
Think Like an Archaeologist
Think Like an Archaeologist is collaborative program introducing 6 th  grade Social Studies students at Providence Public Schools to the whole process of archaeology, from choosing an excavation site and learning to dig, to analyzing and caring for artifacts. Each session is hands-on, led by faculty, staff, and doctoral students from Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. 

As we wrap up another successful year, we want to thank everyone who supported this engaging program!
