Lectures: Prof. Judge on Native Americans

Professor Chris Judge, USC-Lancaster will be in Beaufort County on Wed., Oct. 22nd to deliver two talks at two locations to help us celebrate Archaeology Month. Be sure to pay attention to the locations and times. It would be awful to show up at the wrong lecture.

1) Learn about the archaeology of the local Yamassee Indians from 1684 up to the start of the Yamassee War at Noon at the Coastal Discovery Museum. The lecture is free but reservations are required. Contact: Natalie Hefter, 843-689-6767, ext. 223 nhefter@coastaldiscovery.org.Read More...

(Many of these are also available in audiobook format.)Read More...
