Bruce Bradley, Ph.D., will present the lecture “AUKward Proposal: Evidence of a trans-Atlantic contribution to the Ice Age peopling of the Americas,” on Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. in Room 130, Noble Hall at Fort Lewis College. He plans to show a collection of casts of pre-Clovis stone tools for attendees to examine.

Bradley, professor emeritus at University of Exeter, U.K., and research associate at the Smithsonian Institution, has experience with experimental archaeology and Stone Age technologies, with special expertise in flaked stone technologies, according to a press release. He also has over 50 years of experience in the Southwest and Great Plains, especially with PaleoAmerican topics. His research also has included the Upper Paleolithic of Russia and France, (specifically Solutrean) and horse domestication in Central Asia.

His current areas of research deal with the early peopling of the Americas and prehistoric Pueblo archaeology.
