Talk by Dr. Brian G. Redmond- Mammoths and mastodons in Ohio and their interactions with early humans. (OH)

May 16, 2018 @ 7:00 pm

Dr. Brian G. Redmond, Curator and John Otis Hower Chair of Archaeology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, returns to the Hudson Library & Historical Society on Wednesday, May 16 at 7 p.m. He will discuss existing evidence for mammoths and mastodons living in North America, and their interactions with early humans. Dr. Redmond will be speaking as part of an educational series commemorating polar exploration and the completion of conservation work on a mammoth tusk in the collection of the Hudson Library. The conservation was funded by a grant from the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded by the State Library of Ohio. Immediately following the program, a dedication ceremony will take place on the second floor of the library where the mammoth tusk will be formally unveiled.

Redmond received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from Indiana University in 1990 and received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts and Education in Anthropology at the University of Toledo.  He maintains appointments as adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology at Case Western Reserve University, Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Anthropology at Cleveland State University, and Research Associate of the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology at Indiana University, Bloomington.  Dr. Redmond began doing field work in 1978 and has carried out surveys and excavations at numerous pre-Contact (prehistoric) Native American sites in the lower Ohio Valley and Great Lakes regions.  His major research interests include the development of settled village life and community organization in the lower Great Lakes, the origin of maize agriculture, and Paleoindian bone modification.

This program is part of The Perry L. Noe Program Series, funded by the Hudson Library & Historical Society endowment and the Friends of the Hudson Library.
