SUMMARY:Kā taoka o Tiwai – Treasures of Tiwai
DESCRIPTION:Stone Artefact Cataloguing \nPlease Note the Change of Date for this Event. \nAround the time of the 1969-1971 construction of the Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter\, the McFarlanes\, a young family interested in archaeology\, explored Tiwai Point and recovered numerous stone artefacts. Treasured by the family for many years\, these artefacts are now finding their way south again. To help that a team of the family\, curators and archaeologists will be sorting\, catalgoguing and repacking the artefacts. This work will be open for the public to come and see the taoka close up and learn what archaeologists look for in the artefacts. You are also welcome to bring in any other artefacts that you’d like to have identified and explained. This workshop is a partnership of the McFarlane family\, Te Rūnaka o Awarua\, New Zealand Aluminium Smelter and Tūhura Otago Museum. \nFree Event \nNo Booking Required \nLocation  – Hutton Theatre\, Tūhura Otago Museum
