King to present report on South Baldwin’s earliest residents July 19
Public invited to LLPS meeting at Gulf Shores Activity Center

Little Lagoon Preservation Society (LLPS) members and the public are invited to hear (pictured) Harry King review the preliminary results of his work on characterizing 2,000-year-old native Indian residents in South Baldwin County during the LLPS quarterly meeting on Thursday, July 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Gulf Shores Activity Center. The first half hour of the meeting provides an opportunity to meet, mingle and enjoy refreshments. The program begins at 6 p.m. and will include a question-and-answer period.
King, also a LLPS Board member and Water Quality volunteer, has confirmed the existence of an Indian made canal connecting Little Lagoon to Oyster Bay and several mounds in the Lagoon north shore area.
Geo Probe data from the bottom of the canal is expected to establish when the canal was dug, how long it was used and when it was last navigated. Dr. Greg Waselkov (Archaeologist, USA) and Dr. Howard Cyr (Geo Archaeologist, Univ. of Tennessee) are currently analyzing soil strata from the canal and mounds to unlock more secrets of this local ancient civilization. King will have artifacts on display at the meeting.
The Gulf Shores Activity Center is located at 260 Clubhouse Drive.
