CCU and Brookgreen archaeological excavation featured on SCETV

South Carolina ETV recently premiered an episode of "Palmetto Scene" that featured Coastal Carolina University's archaeological excavation at Brookgreen Gardens. The project is overseen by David Palmer, assistant professor in CCU's Department of Anthropology and Geography, and students receive hands-on experience in the field. 

The excavation's purpose is to uncover remnants of a former slave village, in hopes of finding "post molds," or a stain left in the ground from support beam of a structure. Work has taken place throughout the semester and will continue during the Maymester period.
