“Revolutionary Steps: Marching Towards Discovery and Preservation”

On January 7, the Savannah Under Fire people hosted a symposium at the 2010 Society for Historical Archaeology Conference.

Following the presentation the public will be invited to offer comments and suggestions about such resources. Don't miss this rare opportunity to provide input.
