Discover Archeology: Bain’s Gap Native American Village Site

Join us for a fun campfire talk in the Great Outdoors! Campfire Talks are a series of educational & entertaining programs located outside in DeSoto State Park. Campfire programs are held many Friday & Saturday evening (June –October) in our large campfire ring inside the improved campground. Talks are for all ages, & open to everyone!

Join JSU archaeologist, Dr. Kathryn Catlin for an interesting campfire talk about the fieldwork at the Woodland/Mississippian site at Bains' Gap near Anniston, AL.

Seating is limited, so bring your own comfortable camp chair if you wish.
