Professor Chris Judge shifts gears a bit for the evening lecture. Between 1000 BC and AD 1200 Native American societies in South Carolina introduced the bow and arrow, expanded recently invented clay pottery traditions, began growing native crops in gardens and buried certain individuals with great fanfare and effort. Archaeologists call these societies "Woodland" and new research across the Carolinas is shedding new light on these people. This talk, the first lecture in a series of three to supplement the "Shaping of South Carolina" exhibit currently on display, will explore these topics. This lecture is co-sponsored by the South Carolina Historical Society.
