The Museum of Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) at the University of Oregon launched its annual Archaeology Lecture Series on Friday, Oct. 5 2012. Jon Erlandson, MNCH executive director, kicked off the series. His illustrated lecture "Connecting the Dots: Coastlines, Crescents, the Pacific Flyway, and the Peopling of the Americas" addressed new ideas and evidence for understanding early stone tools along the Pacific Rim. His research targets the human colonization of the Americas, the evolution of the Pacific Flyway and connections between Paleoindians of the Great Basin and California's Channel Islands.
