The new installation in the Native North American gallery features objects such as carved seashell gorgets, pottery incised with spirals, and stone weights from an atlatl, an ancient spear thrower created right here in Georgia during the Mississippian Period from 900-1600 AD.
Teens will experiment with these indigenous art forms and materials before heading to Etowah Indian Mounds to explore the most intact Mississippian culture archaeological site in the Southeast.
Spending the night camping at Red Top Mountain State Park and a kayaking trip on the Etowah River will give teens a glimpse of what life may have been like in this complex society of the past.
