KHC virtual Archaeology Conference March 1-6, open to public Frankfort, KY - The 38th Annual Kentucky Heritage Council (KHC) Archaeology Conference is taking place virtually this week including presentations on YouTube and live sessions via Zoom Friday and Saturday. KHC is the state historic preservation office responsible for the identification, protection and preservation of prehistoric resources and historic buildings, sites and cultural resources throughout the Commonwealth. The annual conference is hosted by staff each spring to highlight these cultural resources and as an opportunity for archaeologists and professionals in the field of historic preservation to share information and research findings about their work. Complete information is available at the KHC website: heritage.ky.gov. Highlights include a new virtual tour of the Saltpeter Cave at Carter Caves State Resort Park at 1 p.m. EST Friday led by Susan Neumeyer, archaeologist coordinator for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The tour focuses on her thesis research into saltpeter mining there for the War of 1812, and viewers are invited to pose questions via a live feed. At 11 a.m. Saturday, organizers of Living Archaeology Weekend (LAW) will host a live event to introduce a new video series with the pilot episode, "American Indian Textiles." LAW is the largest annual public archaeology event in Kentucky, taking place each September for more than 30 years and offering demonstrations about American Indian and pioneer lifeways and technologies. Participants will have the opportunity to talk to and interact with the authors of papers and posters during a live Q&A session at 1 p.m. Saturday. The conference will conclude at 3 p.m. with a live business meeting of the Kentucky Organization of Professional Archaeologists. Recorded paper presentations are being uploaded to YouTube throughout this week. Topics include "Rock Shelter Rituals in Kentucky," evidence from medicine and purification rituals in eastern Kentucky and western North Carolina; "Historic Period Communities in Western Mason County, Kentucky: Stories from a Three-Mile Stretch of a Rural Roadway," findings from a cultural resource survey of a three-mile segment of Dover-Minerva Road in western Mason County, revealing evidence of early buildings and churches and information about those who have lived, farmed, worshipped and worked in this area since the 1790s; and "The Prevallett-McLain Site: Forgotten but not Gone," archaeological findings from a site in Spencer County with significant intact deposits ranging from the Early Archaic through Terminal Archaic periods (7,000-10,000 BC) including an Archaic cemetery.
