第一讲：美国人类学发展史视域下的人类行为生态学
Human Behavioral Ecology in the Context of the History of American AnthropologyThe first half of this talk presents a very quick history of American anthropology. Archaeology in the US is somewhat different from archaeology in other countries because in the US archaeology is very much a part of anthropology. Anthropology in the US has a history of responding to 19th century unilineal evolution. Human behavioral ecology supports that argument but still is criticized as it privileges the human response to material conditions: food, environment, technology, reproduction.

第二讲：最早的北美人：原住民祖先抵达时间的研究进展
Colonization of the Americans: When the Ancestors of the Indigenous Peoples of the Western Hemisphere ArrivedIn this talk the speaker presents the current state of the debate over when the ancestors of the Indigenous peoples of the western hemisphere arrived. The speaker supports a “late” date of about 14,000, but other researchers suggest dates of anywhere from 22,000 to 130,000 years. The speaker suspects there are errors in all these cases and presents their reasons for why they think so. The argument matters to the question of why so many large animals became extinct by roughly 10,000 years ago, and to the political desires of the living Indigenous peoples of the western hemisphere.

第三讲：拉普雷尔：怀俄明州克洛维斯期猛犸象屠宰遗址
The La Prele Clovis-age (~12,950 cal BP)Mammoth Kill Site, Wyoming, USAFrom 2014-2024 the speaker excavated a Clovis site associated with a mammoth. The site contains at least three houses, defined by scatters of stone tool knapping debris, bone and ivory fragments, and pieces of ochre (hematite).The speaker will discuss how they excavated the site, some of the findings (including the oldest bone needles in the western hemisphere), and our conclusions to date.

第四讲：碳十四数据追踪人口的变迁与迁徙
The Use of Radiocarbon Dates to Track Population Change and MigrationThis talk uses a North American case study that covers the past 2000 years and uses our database of >100,000 dates to argue that radiocarbon dates provide a way to infer changes in human populations in any region over the past 50,000 years (the limit of radiocarbon).
