Join Buckhead Heritage Thursday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. for James B. Langford’s talk on “Standing Peachtree: What We Know and Don't Know – Yet.” Langford serves as president of the Coosawattee Foundation, a non-profit organization he created in 1987 to promote the conservation of Native American occupation sites and related Indigenous lands. In that role and as president of the Society for Georgia Archaeology, he worked closely with multiple tribal groups to research and author two landmark pieces of legislation that protect human remains and culturally significant sites in Georgia. The Coosawattee Foundation also works to educate the public and dispel stereotypes about Native American cultures.
Langford is a frequent lecturer about the early inhabitants of Georgia. He is the author and co-author of academic research related to the Mississippian period and early Spanish contact in Georgia. His co-authored work on Mississippian period ceramics has been used for more than 30 years as the definitive research and laboratory ceramics guide for professional archaeologists and the general public.
Open to Buckhead Heritage members as well as the public, the free event will be held at the Cathedral of Saint Philip Gould Room. Please register at www.BuckheadHeritage.com.
