Keynote Speaker at LAS Banquet, Dr Michael Waters
7 pm, February 25, 2012
Dr Michael Waters is a Professor and director of the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University. Dr. Waters specializes in Geoarchaeology (the application of the geosciences to archaeological research), Late Quaternary geology, and Paleoindian archaeology and the landscape setting of prehistoric agricultural communities. Dr. Water's keynote address will be:
In Search of the First Americans. this talk will focus on the need to create a new model for the peopling of the Americas. Genetic and archaeological evidence shows that people were in the Americas about 15,000 years ago. Based on evidence from the Debra L. Friedkin site, Texas, Manis site, Washington, and other sites in North America, these early people had biface, blade, bladelet, and osseous (bone) technologies. New evidence shows that Clovis originated south of the continental ice sheets around 13,000 years ago. The Gault site and the Hogeye Clovis cache site. both in Texas, are providing new insights into Clovis origins.
