MSU faculty member’s work highlighted in national archaeology magazine

STARKVILLE, Miss.— Archaeology finds from an expedition team including Mississippi State’s Edmond A. “Tony” Boudreaux III, a faculty member in the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, has been highlighted in “American Archaeology,” a national magazine for archaeology scholars and laypeople.

Boudreaux, the director of the Cobb Institute’s curation facility, and his collaborators found metal artifacts on Stark Farms, near Starkville, that indicate Native Americans who lived there in the mid-1500s had been in contact with Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto when his expedition was in northeast Mississippi in 1540-1541.

Published by The Archaeological Conservancy, “American Archaeology” helps readers explore the “world of North America’s earliest inhabitants, the historic past of modern-day cities, and everything in between.”
