The Society for Georgia Archaeology’s nineteenth annual Georgia Archaeology Awareness promotion, Archaeology Month 2012, has as its theme Commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812.
Our request for a proclamation designating May as Georgia Archaeology Month was received and acknowledged by the Governor’s office. Past and present SGA board members, representatives from Georgia’s archaeological community, and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) attended the proclamation signing by Governor Nathan Deal on the morning of Wednesday May 2nd at the Capitol in Atlanta.
