One long-term project is the continued search for the wrecked flagship of the Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón expedition\, an early Spanish endeavor to colonize North America. The Capitana\, one of six vessels used in a failed settlement attempt by the Spanish Crown to gain a foothold in the New World in 1526\, was lost when it grounded and sank approaching the coastline of South Carolina\, believed between Winyah Bay and the Santee River Inlets. This illustrated presentation will discuss the ongoing efforts by the Institute to search for this early 16th-century shipwreck along with other unfortunate casualties along the Pee Dee coastline. \nBiography: James Spirek is the State Underwater Archaeologist and Head of the Maritime Research Division at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina\, Columbia. Employed there since 1996 and holding his current position since 2012\, Jim’s responsibilities include managing and studying the maritime archaeological legacy residing in the lakes\, rivers\, and coastal waters of South Carolina. He has participated in numerous projects documenting a diverse range of sunken prehistoric and historic watercraft\, Colonial and Native American sites\, Civil War warships and blockade runners\, and other underwater archaeological remains in state waters. Jim is currently leading two maritime archeological prospecting ventures searching for shipwrecks off Port Royal Sound and the Santee River Inlets. Jim received his B.A. in History from George Mason University in 1987 and his M.A. in Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology from East Carolina University in 1993. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n1:45 PM – 2:15 PM\nTitle: “Data Recovery Excavations at the Florence/Gamble Hotel” \nAbstract: In September 2023\, Aghatech Industries LLC conducted archaeological investigations at the original site of the Florence Hotel (c.1860-1893). Built by the Northeastern Railroad Company in 1860\, the plan was for the Hotel—the largest wooden building in South Carolina during its time—to attract railway travelers to buy town lots. The plan succeeded: lots were bought and developed\, and from them\, the city of Florence came into being. This presentation details the archaeology conducted to recover the lost history of the Hotel\, and especially the back lot of the Hotel\, where enslaved Africans and later African American free persons labored to provide guests with horse and carriage transport\, clean clothes\, and bed linens\, baths and shaves\, and meals that made the Florence Hotel the “best eating house South of the Potomac”. \nBiography: Dr. Andrew Agha has been practicing archaeology in South Carolina and the southeast since 1997 and is currently CEO of Aghatech Industries LLC. He has worked for various private and public entities and institutions and has taught Anthropology at the University of South Carolina-Columbia\, the College of Charleston\, and Coastal Carolina University. His main research deals with how colonial Carolina origins were influenced and shaped by experimental scientific agriculture\, where the intersection of early English sciences\, enslaved Africans\, and English “country estate” development during the 1670s and 1680s created Carolina’s “plantation society”.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n2:30 PM – 3:00 PM\nTitle: “Interpreting the Copperhead Bluff Site\, a Mississippian Period Site on Great Pee Dee River\, Florence County\, South Carolina” \nBiography: Christopher Judge has studied Native Americans in South Carolina for over thirty-five years. The lens that informs my research is the anthropological archaeology of precontact cultures.  Additionally\, Judge has conducted oral history research in living Native American communities throughout South Carolina. Currently\, he is the Assistant Director of the Native American Studies Center at USC Lancaster\, teaching anthropology and archaeology courses. Judge holds B.A. (1983) and M.A. (1987) degrees in Anthropology from USC Columbia. \n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n3:15 PM – 3:45 PM\nTitle: Archaeological Excavations at the Copperhead Bluff site in Florence \nAbstract: Archaeological excavations at the Copperhead Bluff site in Florence County recovered fragments of a small Native American ceramic vessel. As a primitive technology experiment\, Southerlin has produced replicas of what he interprets the whole vessel to look like. Southerlin will briefly discuss digging and processing the clay\, reconstructing a design image on a wood paddle\, forming the clay into a specific vessel form\, and firing the finished vessel. \nBiography: Bobby Southerlin grew up in North and South Carolina and graduated from Spring Valley High School near Columbia. Southerlin completed his undergraduate studies at the University of South Carolina and graduate work in Southeastern Archaeology at the University of Georgia. In 2003\, he founded the Cultural Resources Management firm Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas. Inc. in Clayton\, North Carolina\, soon after partnered with Dawn Reid. Southerlin\, now retired\, is still involved with selected field projects and volunteer work occasionally. He enjoys primitive technology experiments\, especially making replicas of Native American pottery from the Carolinas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The Florence County Museum anniversary weekend has been made possible through the incredible support of our volunteers\, members\, contributors\, and our primary media sponsor Post and Courier Pee Dee.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

How? Why? Discoveries and new science can now tell the story. Hidden deep in sacred caves lies evidence of when the rains stopped coming – and for how long. Advanced bone analysis from hundreds of graves tells us what the Maya ate\, where they came from\, and what changed in their lives. Lidar strips away the jungle and CGI shows their world in a way never seen before\, revealing the incredible geo-engineering and complexity that allowed cities to grow to immense size – perhaps too big. The most amazing new find – the KomKom vase – is the only written account of its kind\, detailing events at the cusp of collapse. It speaks of a story of war\, family power struggles between divine god-kings\, failing power in the face of climate change\, and murder. Experts lead us deep into the sacred caves to the site of escalating offerings\, human sacrifice\, and in final desperation\, child sacrifice. In the thick jungle\, key sites reveal enigmatic piles of goods and bodies buried in palace rubble\, as chaos and desperation grew\, until – the end of their world. The Fall of the Maya Kings is a one-hour documentary that traces the story of the ancient Maya collapse\, from inside the chaos – as told by the ancient Maya themselves.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40px”][vc_video link=”https://youtube.com/shorts/AlXPL-Z3LLI?si=R8EIF30GShA2aQ_t” css=””][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Curiosity Trek! Episode 4: “A Submarine Commander’s Lucky Charm” – 8 min. \nDirector and Producer Andrew Davis\, SCETV\, (USA) This episode of Curiosity Trek! dives into the history behind the legendary “Life Preserver” of Lieutenant George Dixon – a gold $20 coin that saved his life at the Battle of Shiloh in the American Civil War. He carried this coin with him everywhere he went – even during the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley’s fateful run in February 1864. This tale was originally thought to be legend\, but myth became fact when the coin was discovered among Dixon’s remains inside the Hunley.

Multipurpose Room\nLecture Title: “An Update from the Field and Lab: Recent Historical Archaeology Along the Pee Dee River in the Greater Florence Area.” \nLecture Abstract: Over the last four years\, historical archaeology conducted through the Archaeological Institute of the Pee Dee (AIPD) has been undertaken at 11 sites and properties spanning the mid-eighteenth through early twentieth centuries. All of the sites studied contribute in small and large ways to the development\, settlement\, and creation of the communities that surround and comprise the City of Florence. From footpaths\, horse trails\, and rail lines\, to small backcountry churches\, planters’ settlements\, Revolutionary War-related sites\, and the small “lost” towns of South Carolina\, our archaeological research and studies through the AIPD and Florence Museum have generated a growing database we use to learn more about the historical development of the Darlington-Florence area than ever before. Agha will discuss the Cashaway Baptist Church site\, the search for Rev. Evan Pugh’s settlement and experimental gardens\, the plantation settlements of Jolly Webb and Revolutionary War veteran Major Robert Lide\, pre-Revolutionary War settlements and houses\, the sites affected by British Major James Wemyss as he burned most of the countryside north and south of Florence in 1780\, the late colonial town settlement of Long Bluff near modern Society Hill\, and the site of the old Florence Hotel (1860-1893) that burned to the ground just a few blocks away from the Florence County Museum. Agha will also discuss important artifacts found at these sites\, which are useful in our understanding of who the site inhabitants were\, their social status\, and how we can use those artifacts to learn more about the past peoples who lived along this stretch of the Pee Dee. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Dr. Andrew Agha has been practicing archaeology in South Carolina and the southeast since 1997 and is currently CEO of Aghatech Industries LLC. He has worked for various private and public entities and institutions and has taught Anthropology at the University of South Carolina-Columbia\, the College of Charleston\, and Coastal Carolina University. His main research deals with how colonial Carolina origins were influenced and shaped by experimental scientific agriculture\, where the intersection of early English sciences\, enslaved Africans\, and English “country estate” development during the 1670s and 1680s created Carolina’s “plantation society”.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Lobby\nExhibit Description:  Bobby Southerlin will display a variety of pottery vessels he has made\, representing a variety of vessel forms and decorative styles found in South Carolina. He digs his own clay and uses pottery fragments from archaeological sites as the inspiration/template. Vessels are open-fired in a shallow pit. On display will also be a variety of tools Southerlin uses to construct different pottery types\, and he will demonstrate traditional construction techniques by working on a small pot. Replica pottery vessels will be available for purchase.\n\nAbout the Archaeologist: Bobby G. Southerlin is the Founder of Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas\, Inc. He was born in North Carolina and graduated from Spring Valley High School near Columbia\, SC. Southerlin earned his undergraduate degree (BA) at the University of South Carolina and did his graduate studies at the University of Georgia (MA). Southerlin’s archaeological experience focused on studying the lifeways of Native Americans who lived in North and South Carolina. He specializes in replicating the different pottery types found at Native American archaeological sites in the Carolinas and conducts experimental archaeology projects to better understand both the artifacts and the potters.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Courtyard\nEvent Title: Flintknapping Demonstration & Lesson \nEvent Description: Folks are encouraged to bring artifacts for identification by an archaeologist. \nAbout the Exhibitor: Archaeologist David Walton\, an expert on lithic technologies across the ancient Americas\, will be demonstrating and teaching guests how to make a variety of stone tools using flint and obsidian cores.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Lobby\nEvent Title: Native American Artifact Identification! \nEvent Description: Folks are encouraged to bring artifacts for identification by an archaeologist. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Christopher Judge has studied Native Americans in South Carolina for over thirty-five years.

Antiquarians and early archaeologists documented eight earthen mound complexes along the Wateree River\, and they and ethnohistorians associate these sites with the province of Cofitachequi. Intensive investigations at three mound complexes by archaeologists from the University of South Carolina\, Columbia\, over the last fifty years have revealed much about these communities that were among the first in the southeastern US to be visited by Europeans. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Christopher Judge has studied Native Americans in South Carolina for over thirty-five years.

In addition to foraging parties from both armies making their presences known across the countryside\, local vendors would visit army encampments when they came near\, to sell additional items to the soldiers. Ranging from fresh produce\, bread\, eggs\, and cheese\, to tobacco and more exotic luxury items like tea\, coffee\, sugar\, wine\, and chocolate\, petty sutlers had to be licensed to sell by the Quartermaster General of each army. This portrayal invites the visitor to consider what additional foods and comfort items might be offered for sale\, as well as how those items affected the health and well-being of the soldiers. Topics of conversation often include how civilians were licensed and how they interacted with the soldiers\, as well as discussions of currency and payment\, and the cost-benefit analysis of civilians who decided to sell to the army. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Carin Bloom is a public historian\, researcher\, and programming consultant in Charleston\, SC. Carin holds an Honors BA\, two MAs\, and a PhD ABD in Anthropology\, all with specializations in Historical Archaeology of the American Revolution. She is an archaeologist and public historian by training\, specializing in the history of the 18th century in America. Carin believes that immersive experiences help history come alive for those interested in exploring the past – she presents both in first- and third-person narratives. Carin focuses on lesser-known historical figures; those whose stories have not been told in the past have still made important contributions\, including the licensed petty sutlers of the armies of the American War for Independence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n1:30 PM – 3:30 PM – Classroom\nActivity Title: Family Activity – Dining Detectives! \nActivity Description: Be a Ceramic Sleuth!

Curator of History\, Cherish Thomas\, will provide an in-depth presentation on the families\, businesses\, and cultures featured in the Lasting Presence exhibition. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nLecture Topic\nStarting in the late 1800s\, immigrants from Germany\, Syria\, and Greece began arriving in the city of Florence. Many were entrepreneurs who sought to build new lives in America as merchants\, candy manufacturers\, and restaurateurs. As their businesses grew in popularity and success\, names that were once foreign to native Florentines\, such as Baroody\, Saleeby\, Kuker\, Cohen\, and Palles\, gradually became commonplace throughout the city. Descendants of these and other immigrant families can still be found in and around Florence today. Visitors are invited to learn the various local immigrant stories & reflect on how their contributions shaped Florence as we know it today. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]When\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026\nRefreshments will be served starting at 5:00 pm.\nThe lecture will be from 5:45 – 6:30 pm. \nWhere\nFlorence County Museum \nCost\nAdmission is free.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Our Prehistoric Palmetto State is an engaging presentation on the process of fossilization and the diverse animals present in South Carolina’s fossil record. Paleontologist Ashby Gale will construct explanations for why fossil deposits are located where they are\, interpret past data from the fossil record to analyze historical climate patterns\, and explore the driving mechanisms of fossilization processes. Throughout the presentation\, he will share different fossils collected in the Lowcountry for the audience to get an up-close look at the Lowcountry’s prehistoric past! The presentation typically lasts an hour and 15 minutes\, and guests may ask questions at the conclusion of the talk. \nGuests may bring fossils and questions! For fossils\, please limit to 10 finds per family to ensure the line doesn’t get too long.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Register Here” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-prehistoric-palmetto-state-tickets-1978611031859″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Mr. Gale will also have copies of the book he helped co-author\, A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils\, for sale ($29.95).
