Spring 2014 public programs

Digging Savannah will be offering three public walking tours, and the ArchaeoBus will be returning for two days.  More detailed information is available in Upcoming Programs.

February 22 and April  5- Skidaway Island Guided Hike

Spanning more than 5,000 years of history and prehistory, the park’s archaeology sites give us the opportunity to trace Skidaway Island’s past from Native Americans to moonshiners. AASU archaeologist Laura Seifert will lead the hike, which starts at the Big Ferry Trail head. The hike is $10 per person (this includes your park pass) or free for Friends of Georgia State Parks members. Buy tickets here.

March 15- Walking Tour of Downtown Savannah

Savannah is famous for its beautiful historic downtown, but the ground beneath your feet is just as historic. Learn about the unseen and forgotten archaeology sites. AASU archaeologist Laura Seifert will lead the tour, which starts at the flagpole at Battlefield Park (next the railroad museum) at 2pm. The tour is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to diggingsavannah@gmail.com or via the Facebook event site.

The ArchaeoBus

The ArchaeoBus will be returning to Savannah! On February 28, Abby the ArchaeoBus will be on  the Armstrong campus (10am-4pm). Armstrong students and home school students are particularly encouraged to attend. Then on March 1, the ArchaeoBus will be in the Savannah Mall, free and open to the public from 10am to 5pm.

Abby the Archaeobus, a creation of the Society for Georgia Archaeology, is a former bookmobile retrofitted with archaeology hands-on activities. Abby travels throughout the state, visiting school groups, giving presentations, and even touring the State Fair!
