An educational infographic titled "Finding Tivoli and William Richardson Davie" details the archaeological search for the South Carolina estate of the Revolutionary War Colonel and North Carolina Governor. The left side features a portrait of Davie and a list of his titles, including Founder of the University of North Carolina. The center contains a historical site map along the Catawba River, overlaying archaeological survey zones and aerial photograph anomalies with artifacts like pearlware and Catawba potsherds. A timeline on the right tracks Davie’s life from his 1756 birth to the 1820 death of his estate—which included 116 enslaved people—and concludes with 21st-century excavations by UNC researchers that confirmed the site's stone foundations.
