Just got this email on the Jan 28th presentation with Dr Steve Lundblad, a specialist in non-destructive age testing on volcanic rock, & normally a fairly fun lecturer:
"explore how active volcanoes in Hawaii provided early Hawaiians with tool-quality stone.
Dr. Steve Lundblads presentation, which is free and open to the public, is Friday, January 28 at 7 p.m. in Wentworth Hall, Room 1, on the UH Hilo campus.
Lundblad will explain how changes in activity during the life cycle of a Hawaiian volcano can be used to trace the origin of stone tool artifacts found in Hawaii. He will also talk about on-going UH Hilo geoarchaeological research using non-destructive techniques to gain new insights into the source and exchange of Hawaiian stone artifacts."
ETA: Does anyone know where/what time the Jan 27th presentation is?
I thought I had the link for these events, but do not!
