Description:
Pulaski County American Evolution 2019? presents the Public Talk with David Givens, Director of Archeology with the Jamestowne Rediscovery Project on Friday, November 22, 2019 at Rooker Hall on New River Community College's Dublin, VA campus.

Please join us for the opportunity to hear David Givens, the Director of Archeology with the Jamestowne Rediscovery Project.

Mr. Givens first started in archaeology over 30 years ago volunteering on dig sites in the mountains where he worked with the local chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia (ASV). It was also in Blacksburg that he got his introduction to computer science, working for Virginia Tech’s electrical engineering department to establish the Electronic Village program and build computers for students.

His passion for the past and the application of technology to the world of historical archaeology is what brought him to the Jamestown Rediscovery project in 2001. He specializes in visualizing lost landscapes of colonial Virginia and is currently directing the archaeology of the Angela site, an excavation focused on one of the first Africans to arrive at Jamestown in 1619.

Dave holds a Master’s Degree with distinction in historical archaeology from the University of Leicester and undergraduate degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University in anthropology, sociology and Russian language.

Admission is $5.00 for the general public and free for students with ID.

Tickets are available at the Visitor Center in Dublin, VA.
