April Events
Archaeology Lecture
Friday, April 9th, 7 pm to 8:30 pm
"Great Wonders Of The New World: The Mounds Of Ancient North America"
Sponsored by the
South Florida Chapter
Archaeological Institute of America
Presented by Dr. Megan C. Kassabaum,
Assistant Professor of Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania
Stretching over 2,500 miles from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River has been called “the Nile of North America.” Like its counterpart in Egypt, the Mississippi Valley is among the richest archaeological regions on the continent. Home to thousands of earthen mounds, it contains both the oldest and the most elaborate monumental architecture in North America. Based on fifteen seasons of fieldwork conducted on mound sites across the Eastern United States, this lecture explores the 5,000-years history of moundbuilding from the earliest sites built by mobile hunter-gatherers to Cahokia, the first city in North America built about 1000 years ago.

Does the recently discovered and controversial "Dueling Dinosaurs" fossil provide proof of the validity of Nanotyrannus as a species vs classification as a juvenile T. rex? Without a doubt according to Robert and his colleagues Dr. Robert Bakker of the Houston Museum of Natural History and Pete Larson of the Black Hills Institute.
Nanotyrannus is the rarest and most enigmatic of the Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids. Its sleek build, smaller size, and powerful legs made it an exceptionally agile and lethal predator. "Tara" is one of only three of her kind yet discovered, and is the only fully mounted skeleton of this fascinating dinosaur.
