Why Newark Earthworks day?
Newark Earthworks Day is intended to educate the public about the site. A broad-based committee including archaeologists, educators, Native Americans and community residents planned the first Newark Earthworks Day to coincide with lunar alignments in the autumns of 2005 and 2006. The committee functions today under the auspices of the Newark Earthworks Center, an interdisciplinary academic center of the Oho State University which works to support research and education about the site.
