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). Compiled from decades of visiting beaches along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts\, collecting fossils\, and conducting extensive research\, A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils is the definitive guide for amateur collectors and professionals interested in learning more about the deep history they tread on during their vacations. Authored by Bob\, Pam\, and Ashby Gale\, this guide offers more than twelve hundred high-quality color photographs and detailed descriptions of more than three hundred fossil specimens found on beaches from Texas\, east to Florida\, and north to New Jersey. \nTickets go on sale to the general public on March 31\, 2026\, at 9 am. \nThe cost to attend is free\, but registration is required via the link on this page.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

\nDescription: Excavations sometimes produce thousands of artifacts from a site. Archaeologists use those artifacts to learn about daily life in the past. But within those thousands of artifacts are sometimes just a few that reveal rare\, interesting\, and exciting information that completely changes what we thought we knew about the site and what happened there in the past. See and learn about some of those artifacts at this display. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Dr. Andrew Agha has conducted archaeology since 1997 in South Carolina and the Southeast and obtained his PhD at the University of South Carolina in 2020. His primary research focus centers on the influences enslaved Africans and white indentured servants had on the origins of South Carolina agriculture in the 17th century. He also investigates the intersection between African cosmologies and enslaved African culture\, specifically within rice agriculture in the South Carolina Lowcountry. He has worked for both private and public sectors and is currently CEO of Aghatech Industries LLC. Agha has been principal investigator on several AIPD archaeology projects in and around the greater Florence area.\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n1:00 – 3:15 PM – Front Walkway\nDescription: Bobby Southerlin’s archaeological experiences often focused on studying the lifeways of Native Americans who lived in North Carolina and South Carolina. Now\, he specializes in replicating the different pottery types found at Native American archaeological sites in the Carolinas to better understand both the artifacts and the potters. A variety of pottery vessel replications will be on display.. These represent examples of Native American pottery from the last 4500 years. Mr. Southerlin digs and processes his own clay and uses pottery fragments from archaeological sites as his inspiration/template. Vessels are open-fired in a shallow pit. On display will also be a variety of tools I use to construct different pottery types\, and\, conditions allowing\, I will demonstrate my construction techniques by working on a small pot. Replica pottery vessels will be available for purchase.\n\nAbout the Archaeologist: Bobby G. Southerlin was born in North Carolina and graduated from Spring Valley High School near Columbia. He earned an undergraduate degree (BA) in Anthropology at the University of South Carolina and did graduate studies focusing on Southeastern Native American archaeology at the University of Georgia (MA). He worked in cultural resource management for many years before founding Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas\, Inc.\, in 2003. He is now enjoying his retirement playing with clay.\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”]\n1:30 PM – 2:45 PM – Classroom\nEvent: Setting a Patriot Table \nDescription: Step into the past and shop like a colonial family during the American Revolution. Choose dishes for your table and discover which items Patriots used – and which they gave up – during the boycott of English goods. This hands-on activity invites kids and families to explore how big ideas and tough choices shaped everyday life. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Nicole Isenbarger has over fifteen years of experience conducting archaeology in the South Carolina Lowcountry for both local and private entities. She has worked on a variety of projects\, including plantations throughout the Lowcountry and Bahamas; urban gentry houses\, gardens\, and markets; and historic and prehistoric Native American sites. Her most meaningful research has explored how the enslaved at Dean Hall Plantation (Berkeley County\, SC) made their own pottery for personal cooking and religious uses within their households\, and as a commodity in the local markets to earn money to buy necessities beyond their rations. Her current work is uncovering the lives of the colonists and early defenses of the original seventeenth-century British settlement in Charleston.[/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: Reception Honoring Archaeologist Christopher Judge \nDescription:Guests are also cordially invited to a reception from 4:00 – 5:00 pm honoring Christopher Judge’s appointment as South Carolina’s fifth state archaeologist. AIPD Chairman Ben Zeigler will share remarks honoring Christ Judge’s committment to regional archaeology\, and share a short presentation on showcasing highlights from the AIPD’s work in the region: Cashaway Baptist\, Copperhead Bluff\, Lide Family property\, Evan Pugh Property\, Snow’s Island\, & Burch’s Mill. \nAbout the Guest of Honor: 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 a B.A. (1983) and an M.A. (1987) degree in Anthropology from USC Columbia. He was recently appointed as the South Carolina’s Fifth State Archaeologist.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
