Lunch and Learn with Whitney Dickson
Feb 11 11:00 am - 1:00
"Milking It For Ages: What Archaeological Sciences Can
Tell Us About the Origins of Dairying"
How long have humans been milking other mammals? Where
and when did we start doing that? Which species did we use to begin this
agricultural practice?
Please join your friendly neighbourhood archaeologist,
Whitney Dickson, and we'll take a look through evidence from the
archaeological record. We'll also explore the ways some relatively
recent scientific and technological innovations (from osteology to
genomic sequencing to stable isotopic analyses) have introduced new
information and even changed our interpretations of old evidence.
This event will be followed by a free soup and sandwich
lunch. Attendance is free, but donations to help cover our costs are
encouraged (recommended donation: $10). Please register in advance by
telling us you're "Going" on this event page or contacting the Museum by
email or phone. Reservations help us to know how
much food we need and how many seats to put out, so please make sure
that you are able to come and let us know!
