Illinois State Archaeological Survey

This month's Illinois State Museum science lecture will focus on the Secret Lives of Paleoindians.  Dr. Thomas Loebel of the Illinois State Archaeological Society will present his research on these early inhabitants of North America and show that there was more to their societies than simply being nomadic hunters.  

He's completed digs throughout the mid west including Illinois and Wisconsin and says much has been learned...

The Paul Mickey Science Series lecture is Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Illinois State Museum's  Research and  Collections Center at 1011 East Ash Street in Springfield.  It's free to attend.
