Pirates, archaeology, and science, oh my! Come on out to the OSA Conservation Lab’s annual Open House to learn how conservators and archaeologists use chemistry, art, physics, technology, and more to recover and conserve artifacts through fun hands-on activities and educational demonstrations. Learn more about how science and the arts meet to record and care for local history! At this event, you'll encounter artifacts from Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, formerly the French slave-trading vessel La Concorde and artifacts recovered from eastern NC, including artifacts recovered from Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site. Join us to be an archaeological conservator for a day and discover how interdisciplinary, scientific research is bringing North Carolina History back to life at this free, educational event! No registration necessary. An official event of the NC Science Festival.
