12th Annual Native American-Archaeology Roundtable
Saturday, October 28, 2017; tentative times: 9:00am-5:00 pm
The federal government recognizes Native American Ceremonial
Stone Landscapes (CSLs) as significant archaeological sites, yet most people –
the general public and professional researchers – know little about them.
Oftentimes their stone cultural features are misidentified as “farm clearing,”
and subsequently destroyed to make way for suburban expansion or industrial
developments. This conference focuses specifically on the identification of
CSLs, their physical characteristics, relationships to the cosmos, connections
with indigenous world view and sacred stories, and the need for professional archaeologists
and state officials to identify, catalog and preserve these objects of living
history.
Scheduled speakers: Deanna Beacham (Weapemeoc), Jesse
Bergevin, Dr. Chris Bergman, Dr. Daniel F. Cassedy, Robert DeFosses, Mary &
James Gage, Doug Harris, Dr. Julia A. King, Dr. Paul Loether, Dr. Johannes (Jannie) Loubser, Charity M.
Moore, Tom Paul, Dr. Paul A. Robinson, Dr. Laurie Rush, Douglas Schwartz, and
Matthew V. Weiss.
Co-Organizers: Dr. Lucianne Lavin (IAIS) and Elaine Thomas (Mohegan).
Open to the public, pre-registration required; $10
conference fee.
Light refreshments to be served.
Please join us for another rousing Native
American-Archaeology Round Table with outstanding presentations and panel
discussions by professional researchers and Native American leadership.
