The Connecticut State Museum of Natural History, part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UConn, presents “The Paleoindian Period in Connecticut,” a lecture by Zachary Singer, UConn Department of Anthropology. The lecture will be held at the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History on the UConn Storrs Campus, Sunday, April 17 at 1 pm.
Paleoindians are the first peoples who entered and inhabited the Americas during the final glacial period of the late Pleistocene around 13,000 years ago. Several Paleoindian sites have been studied in Connecticut, offering clues about possible Paleoindian lifeways in Southern New England. Join Zachary Singer, doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Connecticut and a research associate for the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, and learn about his research on Paleoindian lifeways in Southern New England.
