THIRD TUESDAY: ‘What Is There To Do When You Find an Old Indian Canoe?: Anti-Colonialism in Maritime Archaeology’

Join Dr. Sara Rich for a presentation that looks at the circumstances surrounding a 4,000-year-old Late Archaic dugout canoe illegally excavated from the Cooper River in South Carolina in 1997. The removal put the diver at odds with recognition of the rights of the Native Peoples of South Carolina.

Rich’s lecture, ‘What Is There To Do When You Find an Old Indian Canoe?: Anti-Colonialism in Maritime Archaeology,” will be presented at the Southport Community Building, 223 E. Bay St., at 7 p.m. April 18. The program is part of the museum’s Third Tuesday series, free lectures geared for ages 16 and older.

The programs are open to the public; donations are appreciated. Seating is limited, so advance registration is required. Register below or by calling (910) 477-5151.
