Volunteers are invited to join in the excavation of the Berry site, located outside of Morganton, North Carolina. Berry is the location of the Native town of Joara and the Spanish Fort San Juan which was built in January 1567 and destroyed in 1568. Fort San Juan, occupied by 30 Spanish soldiers, constitutes the earliest European colonial settlement in the interior of the United States.
