On May 12, 2022, Dr. Adam King provided a lecture focusing on the Mississippian Period in the Pee Dee. Dr. King is a Research Professor and Director of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology.

Dr. King has a special interest in the organization of Indigenous societies during the Mississippian period in the Deep South. This is a period when Indigenous societies became their largest and most complex and when the societies were first encountered by Europeans. Dr. King uses iconography, remote sensing, absorbed residues, and traditional archaeology and has projects in the Etowah River Valley of northwestern Georgia, the middle Savannah River valley on the Georgia-South Carolina border, and the Wateree Valley of central South Carolina.

During this lecture, Dr. King discussed variability in Mississippian societies and their place in South Carolina’s deep past.
