Dr. Lori Lee, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Flagler College, and Mr. Chuck Meide, Director of the Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program (LAMP), lead this session sharing the important findings from the archaeological fieldwork conducted at the Fort Mose site. Fort Mose is the first settlement of freed Africans in North America originally founded by the Spanish in 1738 as the northernmost defenses of St. Augustine. Word of the fort's existence spread throughout the slaveholding South and even helped launch the Stono slave revolt in South Carolina. This lecture will highlight what we have learned about the settlement from archaeology conducted on both land and water.

Admission is free, but registration is required. Funding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
