The Spring 2012 meeting of the Ohio Arch-aeological Council (OAC) meeting will be held on Friday May 4th at the Fort Ancient State Memorial in Warren County, Ohio. Fort Ancient is the premiere Hopewell-era hilltop enclosure in the United States. It is owned jointly by the State of Ohio and the Ohio Historical Society and operated by the Dayton Society of Natural History.
Presentations on Ohio archaeology will begin at 10:30 AM. As part of the program, Jack Blosser, Fort Ancient Site Manager, will present an introduction to the Fort Ancient Earthworks and Dr. Robert Riordan, of Wright State University, will give a talk and walk (weather permitting) on his research at the Moorehead Circle, located just to the west of the museum.
