Why, How, & When Did Paleoindians Come to the North Sulphur River Valley?
Presenter: Dr. Alan Skinner
October 8th, 7pm
UNT Health Fort Worth
Room EAD 108
Collectors have reported finding Paleo points in South Sulphur River gravel pits as early as the 1970s. In planning for Lake Ralph Hall in 2005, more reports of Clovis points were collected. That same year site 41FN73 was recorded and seventeen vertically stratified sediment zones were defined within the thirty-foot high riverbank. Radiocarbon dates extended back to 17,470 BP. This talk is a follow-up to a 2010 talk focusing on Dr. Skinner's current thoughts on Paleoindian archaeology and what we might expect to find somewhere in the North Sulphur River valley and in other northeast Texas Valleys.
