Share the Spirit of Discovery During South Carolina Archaeology Month 2008:
"Native Americans in South Carolina from the 16th Century to the Present"

The events and programs for the 17th Annual South Carolina Archaeology Month (October 1 - 31, 2008) have been developed by dedicated professionals, avocationalists, and organizations in order to bring our state’s prehistoric and historic past to life for all ages.  Through such public outreach efforts, the archaeological community hopes to build regional and local public support for the preservation of our Native American, African, and European heritage.

By sponsoring an annual event like SC Archaeology Month, the archaeological community of South Carolina intends to:

1)  stimulate public pride in our state’s archaeological heritage,
2)  increase public understanding of why archaeological research is important,
3)  heighten public awareness of how many archaeological resources are lost each year in South Carolina,
4)  educate the public about what they can do to help protect and study the state’s archaeological resources, and
5)  get more people involved in legitimate archaeological activities.
