Archaeology series begins at library tonight

When did people begin to create art? What are the origins of the letters printed on this page? How many human cultures are combined in the creation of the chocolate chip cookie?

These and other questions will be explored in August at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library in a series called "From Time to Time: Archaeology in Our Everyday Lives."

Coeur d'Alene resident Haley Cohen will be the presenter for the weekly series beginning Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the library at 702 E. Front Ave. The first program will be "The Evolution of Art."

Also beginning at 7 the following programs will be "Food Through Time," on Aug. 19 and "Writing and Letters," on Aug. 26.

Cohen is a recent graduate of Boston University, holding her bachelor's degree in archaeology. Raised in Coeur d'Alene, she is also an alumna of Coeur d'Alene High School, Woodland Middle School and Hayden Lake Elementary School.

The series is supported by a grant from the Friends of the Coeur d'Alene Public Library, who will also provide refreshments for each program.
