Virtual Talk: Sixteenth-century Native Americans and Spanish Colonizers in the Carolina Piedmont
to
USC-Lancaster Native American Studies Center 119 South Main Street, Lancaster, South Carolina 29720
This talk introduces the exhibit, "Unearthing Our Forgotten Past: Fort San Juan," and the excavations of the indigenous town of Joara and the Spanish Fort San Juan (1567-1568), located at the Berry site near Morganton, North Carolina.
Slides will illustrate the results of the excavation, and what we have learned about the earliest European settlement in the interior of the United States and how Native peoples dealt with this early colonial effort.
