The Oldest tools in Texas: Experimentally Supported Analysis of the Bifaces used at the Gault site over 16,000 Years Ago

The debate regarding the early migrations into the Americas is a hot topic, and the Gault site has shed considerable light on this debate. Often the debate consists of discussions and analysis of lithic materials dated from contexts that are older than the Clovis horizon, and the Gault site uncovers continuous occupation for over 16,000 years. In this presentation Sergio J Ayala will discuss his interpretations of the bifacial technologies that were excavated from the Gault site, that span between 16,000 - 20,000 years ago.

Sergio Ayala is from south central Texas and joined the Gault School of Archaeological Research in 2012. Ayala received his Bachelors of Science degree in archaeology at Texas State University and is currently completing his PhD at the University of Exeter, UK, where he started under Bruce Bradley and Linda Hurcombe. Ayala has focused on the cognitive and behavioral aspects of lithic technology and this is supplemented by his own experimental lithics research.


The lecture will be held on the second-floor of the Gus George Law Enforcement Academy - 1521 Eugene Heimann Circle, Richmond, Texas. March 17th , at 7:00PM

Everyone is welcome - the program is free and open to the public.
