Announcements
February 12th Meeting
Speaker: Charles Frederick
Time, taphonomy and the Quixotic quest for short term occupation surfaces in Texas archeology
Charles will contrast two sites and what he learned about how archaeological sites are formed. The results of his research challenge how we view the formation of coastal shell middens.
Monthly meetings are open to the public.
