April is Declared Charles County Archaeology Month (2026)



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.

The proclamation sites the rich history and heritage of Charles County, exemplified by historic buildings, cultural landmarks, natural features, and local rituals.  It recognizes that the county is enhanced by historic preservation associations, groups, and professionals who donate countless hours and dollars to preserve that history.  Also it 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 "250 Years, Many Voices: Digging into Maryland's Story".    We also mentioned the upcoming ASM event that will be in Charles County this year-- the ASM Field Session.

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