The Aztalan collection of the Milwaukee Public Museum is composed of over 3,600 archaeological artifacts primarily excavated and collected by Dr. Samuel A. Barrett in the field seasons of 1919, 1920, and 1932. This collection is the largest assemblage of cultural remains from a single North American archaeological site in the Milwaukee Public Museum.
The DataBlitz is an event where you, the museum visitor, get to help us by transcribing scientific data from our collections. Like MPM's BioBlitzes, we want to see how many natural history specimen records can be transcribed in a single day. Unlike the BioBlitz, however, where the public comes to see scientists in action, we are inviting you to do the action!
This event will take place on Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 11:00am-3:00pm.
