Title: "The American Southeast at the End of the Ice Age"
The rich archaeological record of the American Southeast provides unique opportunities to study what life was like for the first Americans during the last ice age.
Join Jesse Tune for this talk in the Museum's Rotwein Theater during the MS Archaeology Expo to learn:
- When did people first arrive here?
- Where did they come from?
- Who were they?
- How did they adapt to environmental changes?
This talk summarizes recent scientific research into these questions and highlights the Southeast's contributions to our understanding of the initial settlement of the Americas over 13,000 years ago.
