We will have our first fall program this coming Tuesday and look forward to seeing everyone there.
Date: Tuesday, September 12
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Speaker: Bonnie Gums, Center for Archaeological Studies University of South Alabama, Mobile
Topic: THE PREHISTORIC PEOPLES OF ORANGE BEACH
Bonnie Gums is laboratory supervisor at the Center for Archaeological Studies at the University of South Alabama, Mobile. She will be presenting a program about a Phase III excavation of a Late Woodland Weeden Island shell midden at Orange Beach, Alabama. Bonnie will be bringing with her artifacts recovered from this site. Orange beach is located on the Gulf Coast, east of Mobile Bay and Bon Secour Bay. The Late Woodland Weeden Island culture represents a very dynamic period (ca 500 to 1100 AD, which is characterized by distinct pottery types. It gradually evolved from the earlier Swift Creek culture to become the core area of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture by about 1000 years ago. Pieces of water-worn pottery from this period are commonly encountered by people walking along the beaches of northern Florida and other areas of the Gulf Coast.
