Phoenix, AZ – Test your technology skills at the 19th Annual Ancient Technology Day on March 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pueblo Grande Museum in Phoenix. Enjoy a hands-on experience, fun for the whole family, where visitors can try their hand at throwing an atlatl (spear), weaving their own cloth, and sample roasted agave slow-cooked the traditional way. Artists will be on hand to demonstrate how the Hohokam people used various technologies such as archery, pottery, shell jewelry, weaving and more! Experts in historic technologies will demonstrate skills from the Pioneer Days of Arizona such as lace making and adobe brick making.
