Middens, Mounds, Canals And Castles: A Look at KSC Before The Space Age
Joan Deming, co-principal and vice president of Archaeological Consultants, Inc., in Sarasota, Fla., will focus on the results of a multi-year archaeological survey of the KSC. The first people to occupy the KSC area arrived several thousands of years ago. After the last aboriginal populations vanished from the area, early American settlers made their homes where the Indians once lived. Hidden in remote places not far from where man was launched into space, archaeologists have uncovered the sites of homesteads and commercial enterprises, as well as the remains of an old fort and canal. After the presentation, join Joan for a hands-on look at some of the "stones and bones"" discovered during her investigations. You can hear Joan's presentation during Environmental & Energy Awareness Week at 10:15 a.m. April 24 in the VAB Area/Parking Lot E.
