Check out this week’s Curator’s Corner on the temporary exhibit Those Who Came Before; Archaeology and Material Culture of Ancient People of West Tennessee. These objects are on loan from the C. H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa and Ron Brister. Enjoy!

This week’s Curator’s Corner features our temporary exhibition on Hoodoo in West Tennessee. This exhibition was organized by our incredible curatorial intern Neecole Gregory and the objects are on loan from the West Tennessee Museum of Southern Hoodoo History.

Ron Brister and JoLynne Minnick talk about archaeology of West Tennessee and the artifacts featured in the “Those Who Came Before” exhibition. Through the sherds and intact pottery, projectile points, and stone tools the evolution of material culture in West Tennessee through the centuries of habitation will be shown, and a small view of the lives of the indigenous people will be brought to life.

Tune in to see what our incredible intern JoLynne has been up to with her exhibition on Native American archaeology of West Tennessee!
