Becoming AWIARE

Weeden Island is home to an intricate ecosystem and centuries of human history. This interdependent duo of habitat and society inspired the creation of AWIARE---The Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education.

• The group is dedicated to scientific exploration and research that can illuminate the impact of environment on human life.
• Through ongoing excavations, more and more about the first Weedon Islanders are revealed---stories that should be included in the public history of our gulf coast region
• Weedon Island's hallmark pottery---among the most exquisite collections in the southeastern United States---is under continuing study, as the messages and patterns imprinted in the fine clays still remain a mystery.
