DE Valley Archaeological Symposium in May

In partnership with the Archaeological Society of Delaware, the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs is seeking informal, interdisciplinary presentations on archaeology and cultures of the Delaware Valley that are to be presented at “The Early Colonial Delaware Valley–An Archaeological and Historical Symposium.” It will take place from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at the New Castle Court House Museum, 211 Delaware St., in New Castle, Del. The museum is Delaware’s first court and capital.

Entering its eighth year, the symposium is committed to building a regional-level dialog that can identify the uniqueness of the cultures that existed in the Delaware Valley during the early period of the European colonization. Anyone interested in making a presentation at the symposium should submit an abstract no later that April 24, 2015. Admission is free and open to the public.

To submit an abstract or to make a reservation to attend, you may contact Craig Lukezic at craig.lukezic@state.de.us or call 302-736-7407.
