PROGRAM:
President Leland called on Susan Jernigan to introduce our guest speaker, Maggie Needham, Professor of Archeology at Augusta University.
Ms. Needham spoke about the upcoming Southeastern Archaeologist Conference that will be held in Augusta during November. The SEAC has nearly 1000 members comprised of students, professional archeologists, and enthusiasts. Attendance at the conference is expected to exceed 800.
The SEAC will being celebrating their 75th anniversary this year and the conference will include a field trip over to Stallings Island. Ms. Needham explained the purpose of the group which is to come together and share data with each other and with the public.
They are concerned with the ethical removal of artifacts, the treatment once removed, and the ongoing maintenance of those items. They are focused on standardizing the process of cataloging and comparing items across geographic regions. One of the successful programs provided by SEAC is the Veterans Curation Program where they teach recently separated Veterans how to be curators of artifacts.
In closing, Ms. Needham gave a very brief history of the Creek Confederacy that formed along the Savannah and Ocmulgee Rivers during the 16th and 18th centuries. This development was impacted by both the Spanish and English rule during those times.
REMINDER:
Our next meeting will be August 20th and will be our first annual Tailgate Party.
The meeting was adjourned with the Four Way Test.
