Community Calendar

"Building from Consultation to Collaboration in SC Archaeology"
Dr. Nina Schreiner, Associate Director and NAGPRA Coordinator, South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology

In decades past, archaeologists often studied Indigenous material culture without input from descendant communities. This insular approach to research both undervalued Indigenous perspectives and reinforced retentionist, or anti-repatriation, philosophies of collections care. Today, collaborative methods are gaining momentum among archaeologists to address the historical exclusion of community voices. Alongside community partners, SCIAA is building an institutional collaborative approach using the principles of government-to-government consultation as a starting place.

Voices From The Past AFTER DARK and Ghost Hunting in Historic Elmwood Cemetery.
Historic Elmwood Cemetery opened in 1853. More than 45,000 Charlotte citizens rest in peace under a canopy of colorful fall foliage - or maybe not. Restless souls whose lives ended in terrible tragedies, valiant soldiers who died in battles, as well as a life taken at the hands of another. These are the stories that couldn't be told during our April event will now be shared by our talented storytellers. In the dark shadows of night, take a guided Candlelight Tour into the dark side of Charlotte’s history.
This is an adult Halloween event. True Crime stories and tragic life experiences may be why these souls are haunted. The Charlotte Area Paranormal Society, with its ghost-hunting equipment, will help you to communicate with the restless "spirits" of Pinewood.
