Bumps, grooves, markings, and other anomalies on fossil bones and teeth can tell a story of how early Native Americans modified these materials to use in daily living. In this program, Dr. Robert Sinibaldi will explain the meanings of these markings and ways that both novice and experienced fossil collectors can interpret their findings. A signing of his most recent book What Your Fossils Can Tell You: Vertebrate Morphology, Pathology, and Cultural Modification will follow the program.
