It is Tennessee Archaeology Awareness Month and the Rutherford County Archaeological Society (RCAS) is thrilled to announce and invite you to attend  a special presentation by our Tennessee State Archaeologist, Phil Hodge!   Come join us at 2:00PM at Oaklands Mansion Event Hall. All our meetings are open to the public and are free. You may have heard Phil speak to RCAS before, so you know what a great speaker he is!  

Phil will give a slide accompanied presentation on the many ways that archaeologists approach studying the past in the 21st century. From cutting edge technologies to new methods of excavation, archival research and work with descendent communities, archaeologists today have more ways to approach research, stewardship, and outreach than ever before. Such a varied approach to understanding the archaeological record contributes to archaeologists’ ability to answer questions about the past and inform discussions of the present.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, September 24th at 2:00 PM. Doors will open at 1:30, so come on in, have a cookie and a drink, and sit a spell!
