The theme for this year's Maryland Archaeology Month is quite timely -- The Archaeology of Healing and Medicine. Due to the pandemic the Workshop in Archeology that is normally held in March will be held in the fall. But the Annual ASM Spring Symposium is still on and will be held virtually. Also a number of webinars have been planned for April.
Check out the new website https://www.marylandarcheologymonth.org
It has information about the 2021 Maryland Archaeology Month -events, articles including a downloadable booklet, sponsors, and volunteer opportunities. There is also an archive with themes and booklets from previous Maryland Archaeology Months.
Here is a quick look at some of what is happening --
