Dr. Dennis Jenkins will be the featured lecturer at the April 2, 2013
Oregon Archaeological Society meeting. He will be discussing
“Archaeology and Science at the Paisley Caves," summarizing his
analysis of his three years of re-excavations at Paisley 5 Mile Point
Caves site in South-Central Oregon. The cave has been found to hold
Pleistocene (Ice Age) cultural deposits ranging from ca. 12,000 to
14,340 calculated BP.  Discovery of ancient human DNA, protein residues,
and human hair demonstrated human occupation during that time. 
 
Jenkins is a Senior Research Archaeologist for the Museum of Natural
and Cultural History at the University of Oregon in addition to
directing the U of O Northern Great Basin archaeological field school in
central Oregon. Much of his research has focused on the first
colonization of the Americas and settlement-subsistence patterns of the
Northern Great Basin. Besides numerous publications, he has appeared in
documentaries for the History Channel, National Geographic, Oregon
Public Broadcasting, and Canadian Broadcasting.
 
The presentation is at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is
free and open to the public. A general business meeting begins at 7 PM,
followed by the lecture.
