19 Nov. 2011
Sat. 4-7 PM
Ft. Johnson The Sport Diver Archaeology Management Program (SDAMP) will be hosting its first ever Oyster Roast this November.  This event is to help raise awareness of the needs of maritime heritage in the state of South Carolina.  There are multitudes of underwater archaeological sites all over the state that range from 4,000-year-old canoes to 20th century tugboats.  The many waterways served as the roads of their time and experienced early settlements, wars, agricultural growth, and technological advancements.  The waters of South Carolina and the sites they hold can answer many questions about our past as Americans and as people.

Cost: $35.00 (cash, money-order, make checks payable to USC Educational Foundation).

Email deming@sc.edu or call 843-756-6105 to purchase a ticket or for more information.  MUST have tickets purchased by 11 Nov.
