Koch Hall of Human Origins at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. This hands-on exhibit offers visitors a unique opportunity to engage with archaeological concepts and techniques related to the study of human evolution. The station is designed to simulate an archaeological dig site, allowing visitors to experience the process of uncovering and identifying artifacts associated with early human history. Through this immersive experience, participants can gain insights into the methods used by archaeologists and paleoanthropologists to piece together the story of human origins. Visitors to the Archeology Station can participate in activities such as sifting through sediment to find replica artifacts, identifying different types of stone tools, and learning about the significance of various archaeological discoveries. The exhibit may include examples of tools used by early humans, fossilized remains, or other significant artifacts that help tell the story of human evolution. Interactive displays and informative panels accompany the hands-on elements, providing context about the timeframes, locations, and importance of various archaeological finds related to human origins. The station may also demonstrate how scientists use stratigraphy, dating techniques, and other archaeological methods to understand the age and significance of discoveries. This engaging exhibit is part of the larger David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins, which opened in 2010 and covers approximately 15, 000 square feet. The hall explores the process of human evolution over millions of years, showcasing fossils, reconstructions, and interactive displays that illustrate the physical and cultural evolution of our species. The Human Origins Archeology Station exemplifies the Smithsonian Institution's commitment to interactive, educational experiences that make
