Description
How did the first Americans colonize Ice-Age North America? How did they deal with changing climate, rising sea levels, and harsh conditions? A massive data-collection effort involving professional and avocational archaeologists is shedding new light on these questions. Dr. David Anderson of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville will discuss how, who, and when humans moved into the interior of our continent, and how they survived global climate change.
