Perquimans People Anthropology professor visits Perquimans Ul By JANS WILLIAMS fx Eighth grade history students at (?Vniaa School got a break from the ^normal claasroom activities ^/Tuesday. Dr. David Phelps, , JProfesaor of Anthropology at Eaat ^.Carolina University, spent the morning showing slides and * discussing the cultures of the Indian ltf atives in North Carolina. .V Dr. Phelpa apecializes in ar chaeology and haa spent the last 13 ?ears. conducting reaearch in Eaatern North Carolina. t?I Originally from Gatesville, Dr. iPhelps began his studies at North Carolina State University majoring 1 ja architecture. fj He later went on to the University of North Carolina where he did his undergraduate work in archaeoloev. ije earned his doctorate in an iropology at Tulane University. f Dr. Phelps started his career as a J-ofessor at Florida State Univer tL strong desire to "come back 5 home" brought him to his current pofitionatE.C.U. Dr. Phelps is currently resear ching the Carolina Algonkians (the general society of native Americans). This includes the Eastern North Carolina tribes of the Yeopim, Chowanoc and Roanoke Indians. ( His groups has set two main goals in their research: To understand the culture of the 18th century and to find villages founded by early Americans. The group began work this sum mer on the Chowanoc tribe near Harrellsville. They hope to work in Perquimans County and Chowan County as well as around the Outer Banks. k Outside of his duties as a college professor, Dr. Phelps also accepts invitations for public speaking engagements and writes professionally. The Department of Cultural Resources has recently published a book entitled "THE PRE HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA" in which Dr. Phelps wrote a chapter on the Coastal Plains. This is the first time that a summary has been written on Eastern North Carolina archaeology. _ Dr. Phelps expressed that he felt very strongly about his work. "When we came to America and took over the land from the Indians, we became custodians of their land and their cultures." "Society ought to pay its debts to the past by recognizing the con tributions that were made to the present and the future. For us to presume that nothing happened in Northeastern North Carolina before 1650 is absurd. Some very complex cultures existed here for at least 14,000 years," Phelps said. Editors note: Dr. Phelps will be one of the featured speakers on Heritage Day, Thursday, September 15, 1983.) Dr. David Phelps, Professor of Anthropology at ECU, speaks to 8th grade History students at Union School.
