Abstract:
Dr. Ashley White, East Carolina class of 1986, has traveled the world in search of archaeological sites, but his greatest achievement has occurred right in his own backyard. After a series of storms caused erosion on his family’s farm in Ocala, Florida, White discovered pottery and coins that point to occupation by conquistador Hernando de Soto.
