In Search of Clovis at Topper Site



South Carolina is a state that treasures its past, and its archaeological resources are rapidly being depleted by man-made and natural threats. The Society is made up of avocational and professional archaeologists, as well as the interested public, who work together towards helping preserve our rich cultural past and bring the archaeological heritage of our state to the attention of the public.

The Archaeological Society of South Carolina offers events, field trips, lectures, publications and volunteer opportunities as a fun and educational way to learn about our past and encourage interest in site preservation.

A Word from the Prez
We are starting an exciting new year. The Annual Conference will be the lead event celebating the 41st anniversity of the founding of the ASSC. The Conference will be held on Saturday, April 4th in Columbia. Our other major event is the Fall Field Day. Our tradition is to move the it around the state to expose archaeology to more of the public. In 2008 it was held in Historic Dorchester near Summerville. Our plans this year is to hold it in the upstate.
