Dr. Seeber and the Palmetto Porch

Recently Dr. Seeber had the privilege of speaking with the Palmetto Porch Podcast host Devyn Whitmire to talk about her journey in becoming an archaeologist.

Before going through her studies at Binghamton University, Dr. Katherine “Katie” Seeber didn’t know anything about Mitchelville, the first town built for free people on Hilton Head Island. As an archaeologist and historian, it’s her job to dig up the past to understand people, places, and cultures. But Katie’s visit to this small coastal town left an everlasting impression on her, and changed the trajectory of her career. Devyn catches up with Katie, and they discuss the importance of telling the stories of Mitchelville’s residents — both past and present.
