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. Carol and Nedr epresented 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
gave the each of the Commissioners a copy of this year's Maryland
Archaeology Month mini-poster and booklet. This year's theme was
"African Diaspora Archeology: A Collaboration with Descendants". We
also mentioned the two upcoming ASM events that will be in Charles
County this year - the AnnualASM Field Session and the ASM Annual Fall
Meeting.
CCASM thanks the Commissioners for recognizing the importance of archaeology in Charles County.
