Seminar Series: Chris Davis, Ph.D: “Foraging Along Blue Highways”

Dr. Chris Davis (MA ’13, Anthropology), Project Archaeologist with Paleocultural Research Group, will present as part of our Spring 20202 seminar series with his talk, “Foraging Along Blue Highways: Seasonality and Subsistence Strategies in the Middle Stone Age of Ethiopia.”

WHEN: March 4, 4:30-5:30pm
WHERE: LSC 372-374

Abstract: Dr. Davis will speak on a study that uses faunal remains to reconstruct site formation and foraging behavior at SM1, a Middle Stone Age site in Ethiopia. Analyses document seasonally-structured habitat use and aquatic foraging at SM1. The results offer insight into human evolution in Africa and the development of behaviors that facilitated our eventual worldwide expansion.
