In the Spotlight
Magic Valley Elementary Students Learn about the Archaeology of Food: Idaho BLM Jarbidge Field Office Archaeology Technician Kathryn Smith and Range Technician Lori Shafer presented “The Archaeology of Food” to Hollister Elementary 4th and 5th graders and Kimberly Elementary 3rd graders for a special “Ag in the Classroom” session last week. The presentation taught the students how Archaeologists study the people in the past and the tools they used to hunt their food. Artifact replicas were used to represent authentic tools. The children were inquisitive and had many personal stories to share.
