April is Declared Charles County Archaeology Month (2024)

Once again the Charles County Commissioners proclaimed the month of April as Archaeology Month in Charles County.  This coincides with April being Maryland Archaeology Month.  Mary, Carol, and Claudia represented CCASM at the presentation April 9 at the Charles County Government Building.

The proclamation sites the rich history and heritage of Charles County, exemplified by historic buildings, cultural landmarks, natural features, and local rituals.  It also recognizes that the county is enhanced by historic preservation associations, groups, and professionals who donate countless hours and dollars to preserve that history.  It also specifically mentions Charles County Archaeological Society of Maryland, Inc, Maryland Archeological Society, Inc., and the Maryland Historical Trust.

CCASM thanks the Commissioners for recognizing the importance of archaeology in Charles County.
