The Joffre Lanning Coe Lecture Series We are pleased to announce that Dr. Stanley South will be our speaker for the first Coe Lecture of 2008.Dr. Stanley South 
TALKING ARTIFACTS Over the years South has published numerous books on historical archaeology including Method and Theory in Historical Archaeology (1977), Research Strategies in Historical Archaeology (1977), and later Archaeological Pathways to Historic Site Development (2001). More recently he published An Archaeological Evolution (2005) which is an autobiography of his involvement in the field of historical archaeology. Dr. South will be discussing his upcoming book Talking Artifacts: The 20th Century Legacy. This book emerged from his Basement Project [Basement Artifacts Speak, Explaining Meaning Embedding Numerous Technologies]. It records the artifact legacy of a family who could not afford the high-priced objects easily obtained by the more wealthy families such as those emphasized on The Antiques Road Show, where the emphasis is on monetary value. The emphasis of the talking book is on what we can learn from what the artifacts are telling us about their use and their function in the 20th century culture. The High Point Museum can be reached at (336)885-1859. Directions can befound at the web site http://highpointmuseum.org/directions.htm.
