Native Americans in Coastal Georgia
Grades 3-12

The land on which today’s Georgians live has been inhabited by people for over 19,000 years, yet settlers arrived from Europe and Africa only a little more than 250 years ago. Who were the people who preceded us? Specifically designed to correlate with Georgia’s eighth grade curriculum, this program is adaptable for grades 3-12.  This teaching installation chronicles more than 19,000 years of human habitation in coastal Georgia before the arrival of General James Oglethorpe in 1733. This exhibition explains the different Native American sites in coastal Georgia, highlights important cultural artifacts and describes significant Native American sites in coastal Georgia. Students also participate in a hands-on archaeology activity.
