INDIGENOUS EXPRESSIONS Speaker Series: The First People. April 14, 2009

Join John Crock, UVM, Director, Consulting Archaeology Program (CAP), as he discusses from his chapter in the book: “Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History.” Since the ice age, humans have been a constant feature of the landscape in the Lake Champlain Basin. What is it that archaeologists have found in the region that help tell the story of settlement in this area? What has been found that helps to tell about their nomadic lifestyle? Book signing.
