Trent University Durham Anthropology (TU-DA!) Lecture Series
Reflections on the Status of the Earliest Humans Research in Ice Age North America - Dr. Ciprian Ardelean
1 November * 6:30–7:30 pm * Room DR A125 Trent Durham Campus
Dr. Ardelean’s latest research focused on the earliest human occupations in the northern highlands of Mexico. He is interested in American early prehistory and the peopling of the Americas, the Pleistocene (Ice Age) climate, cultural diversity, and environments. He will talk about his finds in the “Pleistocene Hunters of the Northern Highlands Project”, especially the earliest artifacts and dates from Chiquihuite and Sima de las Golondrinas cave sites, discussing their importance within the current panorama of North American archaeology.
