Jackson Area Chapter of the MAA

I would like to invite you to the April meeting of the Jackson Area Chapter of the Mississippi Archaeological Association (MAA). Mr. Sam Brookes is the guest speaker and will give a talk about Mississippi archaeology. I hope you can make plans to attend.

The meeting will be held at the Madison, Mississippi, Public Library conference room at 5 PM on Monday April 7th (Rebecca Baine Rigby Library on the front). There will be light refreshments served.  The library address is 994 Madison Avenue which is just off Highway 51 in Madison. If you take the Madison exit off of Interstate 55 go toward Madison and turn right when you get to HWY 51, then at the second light take a left on Madison Avenue. The library is a short distance on the left.

The business portion of the meeting will begin around 5:30 and last until 6:30 PM. It will include brief introductions and updates, a discussion of the goals of the chapter and upcoming activities such as mound tours, local digs and MAA summer digs. There will also be a time for area collectors, who brought artifacts, to display them and have them identified and possibly dated. 

If you have any questions please call or email.

MAA Jackson Area Chapter President
