RE-EXCAVATING AND RE-EVALUATING WITH T.R. KIDDER,

On Saturday, May 24, Poverty Point World Heritage Site invites you to special presentation to explore ongoing archaeology with T.R. Kidder, Ph.D. and his team from Washington University in St. Louis. They are currently working to re-excavate portions of the earthworks on site to gain new insights into the indigenous peoples who created the largest earthen monuments for their time and place in North America. This presentation and discussion begins at 2:00 PM in the theater. The talk will last about 30 minutes. There will be a public discussion and Q and A session following the talk.

Dr. Kidder is an expert in the field of archaeology who has worked across the globe. He asks big questions about our ancestors and how we change the landscape, especially relating to climate and shifting environments. He began his fieldwork in North Louisiana in the early 1980s, and is still returning to help us re-discover the ancient world. We hope everyone can join in to get connected to this ongoing work!
