This "amazing" virtual fair celebrates the glamour, labor, humor, and discoveries of archaeology at Harvard. Student archaeologists share their experience with an Irish castle, a shaft tomb in western Mexico, and more.

Guests can place a friendly wager on an atlatl (spear throwing) demonstration, observe chew marks on bones from the Zooarchaeology Lab and experience a virtual-reality view of the Great Sphinx. 

The fair is presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the  Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
