SUMMARY:WNCHA Presents: Dr. David Moore on Native American Resistance to the16th-Century Spanish Invasion of Western North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Join the Western North Carolina Historical Association Thursday\, September 30 at 6:30PM for this special virtual event. We will explore the history and the modern archaeology behind the travelling exhibit Unearthing Our Forgotten Past: Fort San Juan\, now on display at the Smith-McDowell House Museum. \nDr. David Moore will describe excavations of the Berry site\, the location of the 16th-century Native American town of Joara and the Spanish occupation of Fort San Juan. The construction of Fort San Juan in 1567 constituted the first European settlement in the interior of the United States. Moore will describe the excavations carried out since 1986 and will discuss the fate of the Spanish fort as well as the impact of the Spanish invasion on the Native peoples of the North Carolina Piedmont. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nDavid Moore has worked on archaeological sites in western North Carolina since 1978.  He received his B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley and his MA and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. He served as the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology’s Western Office archaeologist in Asheville for 18 years before becoming a full-time faculty member at Warren Wilson College in 2000. \nDr. Moore leads the Berry site excavation project in Morganton\, NC\, and serves as the Senior Archeologist for the Exploring Joara Foundation in Morganton\, NC. He is the author of Catawba Valley Mississippian: Ceramics\, Chronology\, and Catawba Indians.  He is also co-author of\, Fort San Juan and the Limits of Empire\, the first book on the Berry site excavations. In December 2019\, Moore and his colleagues received one of 12 “Discovery Awards” at the Shanghai Archaeology Forum in Shanghai\, China. \nAs Senior Archaeologist with the Exploring Joara Foundation\, David helps to lead one of the largest public archaeology programs in the eastern United States. The Exploring Joara Foundation reaches thousands of participants who learn about local archaeology and history through programs at the Berry site and at the Catawba Meadows Park Living History Village in Morganton. \nDr. David Moore \nTickets: Free for WNCHA members/ $5 for General Admission.
