The Illinois State Museum is pleased to announce Dr. Brooke Morgan, curator of anthropology, will present “First Peoples of the Central Illinois River Valley: Colonizing an Ice Age Landscape” as part of the Illinois Archaeology Lecture
Series.
The lecture will occur at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, at Dickson Mounds Museum.
During the lecture, Morgan will discuss the Illinois River Valley’s Late Pleistocene geology and archaeology.
She will explore some interesting questions, such as how many years ago people first inhabited the Central Illinois River Valley, what life was like in this area 12,000 years ago, and what one does when no one has been someplace before.
