Society for Historical Archaeology 2010 Annual Conference
Join us at Amelia Plantation for the annual SHA conference January 6-10, 2010. The theme for this year's conference will be "Coastal Connections: Integrating Terrestsrial and Underwater Archaeology." Conference attendees will experience presentations and workshops on cutting-edge research, techniques, methods, and theory at this 1350-acre island conference center. Off-site tours will take participants back in time at near-by Kingsley Plantation, Ft. Clinch, and St. Augustine--the nation's oldest continuously occupied city dating to 1565 (and you thought Jamestown was historic).
The offical Public Day for the conference will be held that Saturday from 10 - 4 pm at Kingsley Plantation (National Park) with site tours, hands-on activities for learners of all ages, and presentations by plantation archaeologists from the southeastern United States. Save the date (January 10, 2010) and look for more information coming this fall to the FPAN website.
