Food, tours, more part of Angel Mounds archaeology lab party

 

A fitting tribute to Evansville’s bicentennial, Angel Mounds is reconstructing the first archaeology lab in Indiana. The original building was used by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s. In the face of a national economic crisis, philanthropist Eli Lilly made this a time of new exploration at Angel Mounds. 

Now, in 2013, the Alcoa Foundation is filling a similar role.  Representing perseverance and advancement during a time of dire straits, the rebuilt Alcoa Lab will again be a center of research and education on the property.
