San Juan Capistrano : Mission Photo Exhibit to Focus on Archeology
An exhibit of large photographs showing samples of the archeological research being done on the grounds of Mission San Juan Capistrano, which was founded in 1776, will open Monday in Museum Room No. 4 at the mission.
Included, along with some artifacts turned up by archeologist Nicholas Magalousis and his students, will be pictures of stone tools used by Juaneno Indians, a metal buckle found beneath the barracks building used by Spanish soldiers, samples of pottery and a photograph of a fragment of adobe brick and the grass that was used to bind the material.
The exhibit will be open Tuesday through Saturday until May 17. Entrance fee to the mission is $2.
