NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM OF LA COUNTY VISITS CATSKILL ELEMENTARY

Picture
Working as archaeologists, students piece together clues from the past to understand the Chumash peoples of California. Students excavate and analyze replicas of artifacts based on real data from archaeological sites in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles counties to draw conclusions about daily life. By interpreting and contextualizing material culture, students learn that the Chumash peoples of the past were a complex society thriving in Southern California, a land rich in natural resources. For more information on the mobile museum or the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, click on the picture above.
