Underground Science Society | Past Lakes & Past Lives: Underwater Archaeology in the Great Lakes

At the end of the last ice age, water levels in the Great Lakes were much lower, exposing shallow areas and creating vast stretches of dry land. Plants, animals, and people lived on these now submerged landscapes – and underwater archaeology can reveal what their lives are like. Over a decade of research in Lake Huron has discovered 9,000 year old hunting sites and stone tools.

So!! Come on down to hear Dr. Ashley Lemke, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, tell us all about her aquatic adventures!! Hope to see you there!!!
And if you can’t make it in person, we will be livestreaming the talk on our group page. However, we will not be saving and posting a link for viewing later, as there is still unpublished research that will be discussed.

Guess you’ll have to come or tune in to see what it’s all about!!
