The next GARS meeting will be on Tuesday, April 17 20 at the Fort Daniel Meeting Room beginning at 7pm at Fort Daniel Archaeological Site (2505 Braselton Hwy, Buford, GA). Guest speaker Sarah Love from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division will be presenting on the economic impacts of historic preservation.

Sarah Love joined HPD in August 2015 as the Archaeology Outreach Coordinator specializing in public engagement efforts, education, and training. In 2012 while interning for HPD, she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from Georgia State University. She continued her academic career by pursuing concurrent Master’s Degrees in Anthropology and Historic Preservation. While Sarah’s educational background was based around precontact archaeology and paleoanthropology, she has recently discovered her passion for historic archaeology in the Southeast. Her interests include community engagement, public archaeology, and the intersection of archaeology and preservation of the built environment.
