The Society for Georgia Archaeology will hold its annual fall meeting Saturday, October 18th, 2014 on the campus of Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia. Registration will take place from 8:00-8:30 a.m. on the second floor of the Carroll building at Georgia Southern, and fees will be $10 for members, $15 for non-members, and $5 for students. Parking is available in several areas. This link will take you to an interactive map of the campus.

We have a great lineup of paper presentations scheduled for the morning session of the meeting. During a break between papers, an open house of the archaeology lab at Georgia Southern will be hosted for meeting attendees. Artifacts from various projects will be on display, and tours of the 3-D scanning and printing lab will also be offered.

After lunch, everyone is invited to reconvene at the site of Camp Lawton situated on the grounds of Magnolia Springs State Park near Millen, Georgia. We will visit the new Camp Lawton Discovery Center and receive a behind-the-scenes tour. Since 2009, Georgia Southern University has been conducting archaeological research at Camp Lawton—a Confederate stockade-style prison built during the Civil War. This fall marks the 150th anniversary of the opening of the prison in 1864.
