September 20, 4 PM at The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum - The "Third Thursday" program series this month features archaeologist Dr. David Moore, co-director of the Berry site. The Berry archaeological site, located in the western Piedmont region of North Carolina, contains remains of a large Native American town occupied from 1400 to 1600 A.D. and is thought to be one of the largest Native American town in North Carolina.
The Hernando de Soto expedition visited the site in 1540, as did the Juan Pardo expeditions from 1566-1568, proving that the Spanish did in fact travel throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Dr. Moore will be discussing his excavation and exciting, ground breaking discoveries for BRAHM’s Third Thursday lecture.
A wine reception will follow the lecture. The program is free for members and $5 for the public.
