On May 30 through June 2, 1996 the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University, Old Salem, and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts jointly sponsored an interdisciplinary conference, African Impact on the Material Culture of the Americas, held at Winston-Salem State University. The conference included 28 paper presentations organized into eight panels, a discussion panel, field trips, and a museum exhibit opening, all focused on the effects of African culture on material culture in the New World. While not strictly focused on African-American archaeological research, the conference included several presentations by archaeologists, and most of the presentations were of interest to anyone concerned with the material world of African America. Conference attendees included professional archaeologists, ethnographers, folklorists, historians, curators, art historians, and educators and a large number of interested lay people from the area.
