Here's a work project I did this week! Learn a little about dandelion history and recipies!

Here is an animation I made for We Are Water MN. It's narrated by Dakota Astronomer Jim Rock, who shares the sacred connections between the Star Nation above us and the Burial Mounds/Wakan Tipi cave here in St Paul, Minnesota.

I love this job too!

[Amanda Wintheiser @Just_A_MN]

Put a new object on display in the visible lab @sciencemuseummn! This one is both archaeology and paleontology. Special thanks to @Dr_CrocoGator for teaching me about the fossil in this lithic piece!

New objects donated to the @sciencemuseummn! These are Clovis points from southern MN, some of the oldest tools in the state!

When you and your coworker @Just_A_MN dress up as archaeological site stratigraphy for a Halloween event @sciencemuseummn complete with Munsell colors and artifacts 😎 #archaeology #smmanthrodept @munsellcolor

[Amanda Wintheiser @Just_A_MN]

I get asked a lot what the coolest part of archaeology is. Here it is... a real, genuine connection to the past. Those are my fingers next to the finger prints left behind by the original potter of this vessel fragment.
