Interesting presentation around clothing in North America. Staying Warm in Ice Age Wyoming: Evidence for Clothing Production with Dr. Spencer Pelton  Staying Warm in Ice Age Wyoming: Evidence for Clothing Production with Dr. Spencer Pelton Clothing has been a crucial aspect of modern human survival, since the colonization of the northern latitudes of Eurasia over 40,000 years ago, eventually enabling humans to colonize the New World. Although clothing must have existed among Ice Age foragers, direct evidence for it is rare to non-existent in the archaeological record until only several thousand years ago. Archaeologists must instead rely upon proxy measures for clothing, like the tools used to produce it, to infer its presence and characteristics in Ice Age archaeological sites. In this presentation, Dr. Pelton will detail evidence for clothing production from the La Prele Early Paleoindian Site in Wyoming. La Prele is the oldest archaeological site thus far discovered in Wyoming and is a mammoth kill with an associated campsite. Over a decade of investigations at the site have yielded several dozen bone needle fragments indicative of clothing production. Recent zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) analysis of these artifacts indicates production from fur-bearing animals including foxes, cats, and hares. Spencer argues that the evidence from La Prele is among the best archaeologists have for the types of clothing worn by Ice Age foragers in North America. |

Interesting presentation on different ancient food crops of Southwestern US tribes. Under Recognized Food Crops of Southwestern Native American Tribes with Reagan Wytsalucy  Under Recognized Food Crops of Southwestern Native American Tribes with Reagan Wytsalucy Agricultural production among the Native American populations of the Southwest declined significantly during the twentieth century. Although production of corn, beans, and squash, the three most recognized traditional food crops, remains widespread, knowledge regarding the traditional management of these crops was lost. The loss of traditional knowledge is more pronounced for some of the under-recognized traditional food crops including Southwest peach (Prunus persica) and Navajo spinach (Cleome serrulata or Pursh). Decreased peach production during the late twentieth century left only a few sparse historic peach orchards. There is little to no documentation on importance, cultivation or use of Navajo spinach to the Southwest Native American Tribes. The Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Nations seek to increase the availability of traditional crops for their original uses, such as for food and wool dye. In order for these Native American communities to revitalize traditional agriculture, information was gathered regarding each of these crops, including: varieties and their characteristics, management practices and the horticultural basis for these practices, along with uses and cultural significance. Southwest peach orchards were located, seeds and plant material obtained and characterized genetically to test the hypothesis that Southwest peaches are divergent from modern cultivars. Information on peach management was collected by interviewing traditional farmers, evaluating historic orchard location features, and through dendrochronology. Dendrochronology involved collecting tree stumps or cores from tree trunks to evaluate growth rings in order to determine seasonal irrigation practices, age, and life span of the orchard trees. Navajo spinach seed was collected from multiple locations and compared. Optimum germination conditions were assessed including requirements for overcoming seed dormancy through scarification, plant hormone addition, and chilling and hydration period. Oral histories were gathered from elders of the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Nations on management and use of Navajo spinach; the interviews were translated and transcribed. Information on both Southwest peach and Navajo spinach will be useful to encourage traditional management of these culturally important crops. |

Interesting presentation around lava tubes in the SW USA and there use as water sources and refrigeration by Native Americans. Paper: Late Holocene droughts and cave ice harvesting by Ancestral Puebloans Mid-to-Late Holocene Hydroclimate in the Southwest USA: Evidence from Lava Tube Ice with Dr. Onac  Mid-to-Late Holocene Hydroclimate in the Southwest USA: Evidence from Lava Tube Ice with Dr. Onac The southwestern United States has historically faced droughts and tough climate conditions, a situation predating the extensive effects of human-caused climate change. In Dr. Onac’s research, he focused on reconstructing the hydroclimate patterns of the Mid-to-Late Holocene period by analyzing the δ18O of perennial ice found in lava tubes located in the El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico. They recovered three ice cores (95 to 110 cm in length) from which subsamples were cut or drilled at 1-cm intervals. They, then, measured the δ18O isotopic composition of ice-melted water samples. Ice chronology relies on 14C-dated charcoal fragments and organic-rich layers, and U/Th dating of ice-melt water. From their observations and research, Dr. Onac inferred that future climatic conditions in the southwest could lean towards aridity, especially if dominated by La Niña-like dry winters, potentially intensified by the negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). |

Interesting discussion around the evolution of religion and humans. The Nile outflow chart was interesting to see just how much more water was flowing through it thousands of years ago. The Co-Evolution of Religion and Humans  The Co-Evolution of Religion and Humans The Co-Evolution of Religion with Humans Professor Robin Dunbar, University of Oxford Tuesday 4 March, Queen Square, Bath Religion is one of the key features that sets humans apart from all other animals. In this engaging and wide-ranging talk, Professor Robin Dunbar explores why religion evolved, what cognitive capacities support it, and how it came to play a central role in human social life. He discusses how religion helped early humans manage increasingly large communities and raises the intriguing question of whether the absence of religion may have contributed to the extinction of the Neanderthals. Professor Robin Dunbar MA PhD DSc(Hon) FRAI FBA is Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Oxford. He is internationally known for his work on the evolution of human sociality and for proposing "Dunbar's Number," the cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. |

Interesting presentation on near infrared light and human bodies. How Sunlight Drives Metabolism & Delays Ageing  How Sunlight Drives Metabolism & Delays Ageing How Sunlight Drives Metabolism & Delays Ageing Dr Bob Fosbury, Fri 14 March, Queen Square, Bath Life on planet Earth has evolved for billions of years in the presence of light from the Sun. Over recent decades, radical changes have taken place in the lighting of the built environment which have, for the first time in evolutionary history, removed the non-visible regions of the spectrum present in natural daylight. This absence, driven by the quest for the energy efficiency of lighting, is resulting in the disruption of human metabolism that may have health costs that far exceed the modest reductions of energy use for lighting that may have been achieved. This talk examines the ways in which near-infrared light penetrates deep into living tissue where it allows the body’s metabolic systems to work at the level they have evolved to achieve. Dr Robert (Bob) Fosbury is currently an emeritus astronomer at the European Southern Observatory and an honorary professor at the Institute of Ophthalmology at UCL. |

Interesting presentation around a Pre Clovis site. Cooper's Ferry/Nipéhe: A Pre Clovis Site in North America with Dr. Loren Davis  Cooper's Ferry/Nipéhe: A Pre Clovis Site in North America with Dr. Loren Davis The Cooper's Ferry/Nipéhe site in western Idaho provides a rich and detailed perspective on the lifeways of American Upper Paleolithic peoples spanning ~16,000–13,000 cal BP, offering one of the most comprehensive records of pre-Clovis presence in North America. With its well-stratified deposits, multiple cultural features, and oldest radiocarbon-dated projectile points in the Americas, the archaeological record of the Cooper's Ferry/Nipéhe site provides foundational evidence for understanding the technological and behavioral adaptations of early North American peoples during the Late Pleistocene. The lithic technology, faunal evidence, and spatial patterns at Cooper's Ferry together provide key insights into early hunting lifeways in western Idaho. In this presentation, Dr. Davis will review the scientific basis for establishing an early cultural occupation at the site and discuss ongoing research to reveal evidence for early hunting at Cooper's Ferry, focusing on how the site’s record contributes to a growing body of pre-Clovis archaeological knowledge in the Americas. |

Interesting presentation on America's military's mission in China. Beyond Lend-Lease: The American Military Mission to China, 1941-1945  Beyond Lend-Lease: The American Military Mission to China, 1941-1945 China’s War with Japan began in 1937 with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident near Beijing. While diplomatic and economic means were used to support the Chinese for several years, it was not until the 10th of October 1941 that an American military mission to support Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (Jiang Jieshi) was established. Brigadier General John M. Magruder, an officer with significant experience in China, led a small team of U.S. Army specialists in coordinating the delivery, onward movement, and utilization of military supplies and equipment provided under the Lend Lease program. This effort preceded the official declaration of war against Japan by the United States. This vital mission was a precursor to General Joseph S. Stilwell’s assignment as chief of staff to Chiang, commander of all US forces, and the establishment of the China-Burma-India Theater. Dr. Geoff Babb was commissioned from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine in 1973 as a US Army Military Intelligence Officer. After serving in the Defense Intelligence Agency as a ground forces analyst, he was assigned to Monterey, California, Hong Kong, and Beijing for language and area studies. He was then assigned to Joint and Army Headquarters in Hawaii. In 1991, he joined the Command and General Staff College faculty at Fort Leavenworth. After retiring from the military, he earned a Masters in East Asian Languages and Cultures, and a Doctorate in History from the University of Kansas. He has published numerous book chapters and articles on China and Asia. He currently serves as a professor in the Department of Military History. |
