Yesterday afternoon we had a great turnout for our August chapter meeting, featuring guest speaker Dr. Zachary Singer ! He gave a fascinating presentation about Ice Age Diets in Maryland, and we can't wait to see more results from this research!

If you have found any Paleoindian projectile points in Maryland, Dr. Singer wants to hear from you! Your point could be included in the Maryland Fluted Point Survey, or even analyzed for ancient megafauna proteins!

This Wednesday, August 5th!

This is the follow up to our program last November! Dr. Zac Singer will present all the results of the 75 paleo points and tools sent for the blood protein analysis to Archaeological Investigations Northwest, Inc. in Portland, Oregon.

We also invite you to bring any fluted points you might have found so they can be included in the Maryland Fluted Point Survey. Don't miss this cool event!
