The Archaeological Society of South Carolina (ASSC) will host the 52nd Annual Conference on South Carolina Archaeology on March 7th, 2026 at the Charleston Museum in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The conference will be held from 8 am to 5 pm and will include a thematic paper session, as well as general paper and poster sessions.

This year’s thematic session is The Archaeology of the American Revolution in South Carolina. As this year’s conference coincides with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this thematic session will spotlight archaeological research pertaining to the Revolutionary War and South Carolina’s role in American independence. The general session will feature papers on any topic in South Carolina archaeology. To submit an abstract for a paper or poster, use the submission portal here.

Conference attendance is free to all current ASSC members, or $10.00 at the door. You can renew your membership online here, or in person at the conference.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
