Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

Description: The Archaeological Institute of America—Jacksonville Society will meet at noon on Feb. 20, 2016 in Building 51 at the University of North Florida to hear a lecture by Dr. Neill Wallis of the Florida Museum of Natural History. The lecture is titled “The Traveling Art and Artisans of Ancient Florida, AD 200 to 800.” According to Dr. Wallis, Florida’s most ornate pottery traditions were developed almost 1800 years ago in the northern part of the state. He will present his latest research that reveals evidence of ancient social networks stretching hundreds of miles within an integrated sociopolitical landscape tied together by mortuary rituals and other ceremonial events. The lecture is free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will served afterwards in the Archaeology Lab. On Saturday parking is free and the faculty/staff/vendor spaces are open to everyone.
