On March 28 Professor Julia King and Anthropology majors and minors welcomed Governor Hogan and his staff, representatives of the Piscatway of Maryland, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs to Daugherty Palmer Commons to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the signing of the Articles of Peace and Amity at St. Mary’s City. Student presentations described aspects of the early Native American and European encounters in southern Maryland, and interpreted archaeological finds recovered from excavations in St. Mary’s, Charles and Calvert counties.
