Greg Waselkov to Present Food For Thought Lunchtime Lecture on September 21 at 12:00 pm CT [Alabama Department of Archives and History] Dr. Greg Waselkov will discuss a recent public archaeology project in Gulf Shores that discovered and documented a rare fourteen-hundred-year-old canal that once enabled travel via dugout canoe between Mobile Bay and the protected waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
