The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society invites the public to a presentation in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies and on Zoom. At 6:30 we will have social time, then after a brief business meeting, Bruce Bradley, will discuss his Current Personal Research on the Peopling of South America (combines Brazil work (possibly Older than Clovis) with Fishtail research (just slightly younger than Clovis)). For log-in information, go to SJBAS.ORG.
Bruce Bradley is Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter, UK. He has extensive experience with Stone Age technologies and experimental archaeology, with special expertise in flaked stone technologies. Long- time SJBAS members will remember Bruce's exceptional flint knapping demonstrations to our group. Bruce received a BA in anthropology at the University of Arizona and PhD in archaeology at Cambridge University, UK.
His early research was focused on the North American Southwest and Great Plains. where he has over 50 years of experience, especially with Paleoamerican topics. Since then, his re-search has included the Upper Paleolithic of Russia and France, (specifically Solutrean) and horse domestication in Central Asia, the Mesolithic of Polar Siberia, Early Bronze Age in Ire-land and Wales, etc.
His current areas of research deal with prehistoric Pueblo archaeology of the American Southwest and the early peopling of the Americas, currently collaborating with colleagues in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
Bruce, who lives near Cortez, Colorado, is active in bringing his archaeological and interests to the public through presentations, teaching, interaction with Native communities and participation in documentaries. Bruce continues his research and is channeling his teaching efforts into international short courses and workshops, most recently in South America, India and China.
