Finding Charles County: I am an archaeologist and a professor at UMBC. In 2014, I began working in Charles County Maryland as the County's archaeologist. The history and the archaeological past of this place are rich, with exciting stories about the many people and the diverse cultural groups that have called the county home. Join me as I travel around the county with students and volunteers to find the Charles County that lies hidden and buried in the ground, in archives, in photographs, and in people's memories.
