Indians, Europeans, and Amelia Island: Archaeology of the battle for the New World

The Amelia Island Museum of History, in partnership with the Florida Public Archeology Network, invites the public to the next 3rd Friday on 3rd Street presentation on Friday, September 17th at 7 p.m. This month, the museum is very excited to welcome Dr. Rebecca Saunders, presenting Indians, Europeans, and Amelia Island: Archaeology of the battle for the New World. Dr. Saunders is an Associate Professor in Geography and Anthropology and Curator of Anthropology at the Natural Science Museum at Louisiana State University. Locally, she was the Site SUpervisor for the Dorion Dig, which took place on the south end of Amelia Island between 1985 and 1990. This hugely important project uncovered the remains of dozens of Native Americans and the remnants of the 17th century Spanish mission, Santa Catalina. Join us as we explore this amazing discovery with the archeologist who helped uncover it! This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Alex at (904) 261-7378 ext. 102.
