Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Zoom Webinar

Description: SAAA is proud to host Uzi Baram, Professor of Anthropology, New College of Florida will be presenting a slide-illustrated view of his successful community-based archaeology project and a history from Fort Mose to Angola and beyond - including details of the 2020 excavations on the Manatee River and initial insights from laboratory research.
“Freedom-seeking people found a haven on the Manatee River from the 1770s until 1821. Looking for the site of this haven - a community known as Angola - launched a public anthropology program in 2004 involving local and descending communities culminating in a Network to Freedom designation and large-scale excavations in January, 2020.”
