Georgia wins SAA Poster award


On Friday, April 24, the Society for American Archaeology, at their Annual Business Meeting, held this year in Atlanta, presented the Archaeology Month Poster Award to Georgia.

Each state is qualified to submit a poster each year. The deadline for submission is in March, so the posters are from the year before each competition. So, the Georgia poster in the competition was from 2008, and is called “Archaeological Encounters in Georgia’s Spanish Period.” Read more about the poster here.

SGA President Dennis Blanton received the award on behalf of the Society, which produced the poster, during the awards portion of the Business Meeting.

Congrats to all involved for the prize-winning 2008 poster.
