“What the HECK Is It?: Artifact Identification Session

This is your chance to perhaps finally find out the origins and history of that object you kicked up from the dirt all those years ago. Over the years folks have brought in a full range of artifacts – prehistoric, historic, projectile points, ceramic sherds, Civil War crypto devices, African dolls, 1st century lamps, etc. – to previous “What the Heck is it?” sessions. Look around the house and bring in that thing you wonder what the heck it is.

We’ll have some of South Carolina’s finest professional archeologists – State Archaeologist Dr. Jon Leader and Brockington & Associates archaeologists Dr. Eric Poplin – on hand to analyze, identify and date your artifacts.

Note Well: Do not bring any weapons (guns, swords, daggers, etc.) to be examined. It is the policy of the Beaufort County Library not to allow any weapons in the libraries. No monetary valuations will be provided.

The BDC is proud to be co-sponsoring this session with the Hilton Head Chapter of the Archaeological Society of South Carolina.
