CHARLESTON CHAPTER
NEWSLETTER From the editor...
FALL 2010
Hi folks, We started the new school year with a great event: an “archaeology” picnic! There were some familiar faces, and some new ones. It was great to see everyone again after a long (and hot!) summer. Be sure to check out some of the photos from this event on page 2. More photos are available on our chapter’s website. We have a very productive fall season planned out. This year’s ASSC Fall Field Day is on October 9th at Charles Towne Landing (page 3). As some of you know, Fall Field Day moves around the state and goes to a new location every year. This year it’s on our turf and hopefully it will be a fantastic event. Also, don’t miss the volunteer opportunity to dig at Hampton Plantation on November 6th (page 3). It is a very exciting site and state park archaeologist David Jones promises that you will find some cool artifacts! We are hoping to wash most of the artifacts on site, but if we have leftovers we’ll organize an artifact-washing night at the Charles Towne Landing archaeology lab. Remember: this excursion will be a “members only” event. We will have membership forms at the site so people can join if they need to. There will be a van leaving downtown in the morning, so if you need transportation contact me at assccharleston.newsletter@gmail.com to reserve your spot (right now we have room for 12). Best,
Cicek Beeby
