Archaeology Month 2018 Archaeology Month Dynamic Landscapes & Changing Environments: 14,000 Years of Human History in North Carolina October is Archaeology Month Archaeology Month will focus on the ways North Carolinians have been adapting to and modifying their surroundings for more than 14,000 years. Evolving landscapes and environments are evidenced through our observable prehistory and written history. As coastlines have shifted, temperatures have changed, and new species of plants and animals have been introduced, people have had to learn new ways to live. Archaeological sites including earthen mounds, structural patterns, and shell middens illustrate these changes. Join us in October as we celebrate Archaeology Month with a series of events exploring the past, present, and future of North Carolina’s dynamic landscapes. Events will include lunchtime lectures, an evening lecture, a student research symposium and an archaeology day with events and vendors. Governor's Proclamation Student Symposium The North Carolina Office of State Archaeology invites undergraduate and graduate students to present their research during our October Archaeology Month Student Symposium.
