The Archaeology of the Miami Circle

The Palm Beach County Archaleological Society

Invites you to Attend a Lecture Entitled:

 The Archaeology of the Miami Circle

Presented By: Robert S. Carr M.S.

Upon its discovery in 1999, the Miami Circle archaeological site captured the world’s attention and brought the people of Miami together in a grass roots movement to protect it which proved to be as  fascinating and compelling as the site itself!  Join PBCAS as we celebrate the dedication of the Miami Circle as a new Florida State Park with a lecture by the site’s co-discoverer, renowned South Florida archaeologist, Robert S. Carr!  

Mr. Carr’s talk will recount the site’s discovery, address its scientific importance and summarize new insights it provided about South Florida's prehistory.  The Circle’s implications for public archaeology and community involvement in historic preservation will also be considered.
