This is the Cane Patch site on the GA coast. A shell heap once 65m across, 10m tall. Accumulated 4k yrs ago by Indigenous people living in the earliest permanent villages in North America. Cane Patch likely served as an important place for new villages to maintain wider social networks #archaeology

Drs. Christina and Asa are in Kyrgyzstan! They’re interested in this unique location along the “Silk Road” and are looking closely at the introduction of agriculture and new crops into what is today Kyrgyzstan (and how these systems changed/were adapted locally over time)! 🇰🇬 🌱 #archaeology #ecology

Drs. Jake and Isabelle are in DC at the Smithsonian NMNH! They’re dropping off 400yr-old peach pits from an Ancestral Muskogean site on the South Carolina coast to test for DNA preservation. Hoping to learn more about Indigenous management of this important plant! #archaeology #ecology #aDNA 🧬

After fieldwork on the Georgia coast and in Mongolia, PhD student Matt Picarelli-Kombert spent time at UGA analyzing collections for his dissertation. Matt explores the impacts of Emancipation on Gullah-Geechee foodways and relationships to estuarine ecosystems along the Atlantic coast! #archaeology

Limpets galore, but we also founds heaps of fish🐟, crabs🦀, and nuts🌰.

Some 5,000yr old fish bones. These were found in a massive shell mound along the Georgia coast. This place (and the institutions it represented) likely served a socially integrative function, as it dates to the time of shell rings, the earliest permanent villages in North America! 🐠 🐟 🦴 #archaeology
