The Northwest Georgia Archaeology Society is hosting a prehistoric pottery washing and seminar this Thursday at the New Echota Historic Site in Gordon County. The seminar will begin at 7 p.m.

“For several years, we held this program in January as part of our regular meeting of the Northwest Georgia Archaeology Society,” said Jim Langford, president of the Coosawattee Foundation who will serve as lecturer and supervisor of the event. “We stopped a couple of years ago, but many people have requested that we have another such seminar. We wash and identify pottery from multiple time periods while learning about the chronological sequence of the pottery types and their methods of manufacture. We always have a good turnout for this program and everyone seems to really enjoy it.”

The public is invited to attend the program and meeting. For more information contact Jack Walker at (770) 655-2595.
