Among the activities were:
-
Exploring and making observations of Native American artifacts from New York state that were donated by the Iroquois Museum.
-
Learning about the history and evolution of Paleolithic and Neolithic projectile points, and creating a clay point.
-
Learning about and creating cave art.
