I ask for the public's help in locating and protecting South Carolina's Enslaved African and African American cemeteries. I am eager to hear from people with knowledge of remote, at-risk cemeteries that include but are not limited to burial grounds that are vulnerable to vandalism, development, or threat of just being forgotten.  Please fill out the survey form found at the link below with as much information as you can and return it to Ms Christina Brooks.

Skeletal Remains Donation

The department of Sociology and Anthropology is accepting donations of skeletal remains as we begin building a dynamic skeletal collection for Winthrop's students and researchers.  Donated remains provide an unique osteological teaching opportunity for students and researchers at Winthrop and the surrounding community. We are currently accepting human skeletal remains from coroner's offices, medical examiner's offices, forensic pathology laboratories, colleges and universities, etc.  We are also accepting donations of animal skeletal remains.  For more information or to donate skeletal remains, please contact Christina Brooks at 803-323-4655 or brooksc@winthrop.edu.
