February 10, 2010 FBR Membership Meeting featured Mississippi Archaeology Center speaker Connie Arzigian
Picture what life was like in Black River Falls 13,000 years ago, with mastodons roaming the woods and people hunting them, along with lots of other large animals. How did people live back then, and how did their lives change as the ice age ended? How did people adapt to the land over time? What kinds of tools did they use, and what were they eating? When were the first farmers in Wisconsin? What is so special about Silver Mound? The answers to these and many more questions will be revealed in the talk: Western Wisconsin: the First 13,000 Years.
On Wednesday February 10th Friends of the Black River is pleased to host Connie Arzigian, Laboratory Director at the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
She has studied Wisconsin Archaeology since 1978, and has specialized in examining ancient plant remains and other evidence of past foodways. Connie would like to encourage families and students to attend and to bring any artifacts they may have. She will be using material that incorporates school curriculum and encourages all to bring artifacts. She will gladly review your items with the group, giving insight on origins and uses.
Join Friends of the Black River on Wednesday February 10 at 7:00 PM in the CCU Community Room in Black River Falls for this interactive and educational program!
