Insider Tour of Meadowcroft Rockshelter

[RichPA]

I found this info today and decided to share it. James M Adovasio is scheduled to lecture and lead tours of the Rockshelter on four different Saturdays thru this fall. He led the excavations at this controversial pre-Clovis site in SWPA. Local chert, Flint Ridge, and Kanawha chert were found in the Paleo layer and I thought this may be of interest to PA, OH, and WV collectors.

I plan to attend one of the days to learn more about the local area I hunt and get his book The First Americans signed.

Here’s a link to the Meadowcroft Museum website with tour dates.

Thanks for a most informative post. I would love to attend one of these tours, but Pennsylvania is quite a long state, and the six hours it would take to drive from the Philadelphia area to Meadowcroft most likely is prohibitive for me.

Let us know how the tour goes. That would be a lot of fun for sure.
