SUMMARY:Lecture: 12\,000 Years in the Granite State
DESCRIPTION:Hear about what was happening in New Hampshire 12\,000 years ago.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register for 12\,000 Years in the Granite State\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More about the lecture:\nMore than 12\,000 years ago\, small groups of Paleoindians endured frigid winters on the edge of a small river in what would become Keene\, New Hampshire. In 2009\, an archaeological survey for the new Keene Middle School discovered the remains of their stay and brought to light one of the oldest Native American sites in New England. The remarkably intact site produced evidence of four separate dwellings containing over 200 stone tools and fragments of burned animal bone. These early people\, rather than being isolated stone-age nomads\, were part of a social network that extended across much of northeastern North America. The discovery and excavation of the site was required by the National Historic Preservation Act\, a frequently maligned piece of legislation that in this instance worked to save an irreplaceable piece of the human story.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Presenter:\nRobert Goodby is a professor of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge. He holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from Brown University and has spent more than thirty years studying Native American archaeological sites in New England. He is a past president of the New Hampshire Archeological Society\, a former Trustee of the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner\, and served on the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs. In 2010\, he directed the excavations of four 12\,000-year-old Paleoindian dwellings at the Tenant Swamp site in Keene\, and his book A Deep Presence: 13\,000 Years of Native American History\, was published in 2021 by Peter E. Randall Publisher. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This event is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities
