Archaeology of Disaster
7 -8 pm - Free!
Fire, flood, famine, war, plague, earthquake . . . All major disasters leave distinctive signatures in the archaeological record. From the New Madrid quakes of 1811 and 1812 that changed the very course of the Mississippi River, to the Great Flood of 1993, Illinoisans are adapting today to events that have a history long beyond living memory.
In this presentation, archeologist Gregory Vogel explains the prehistory and history of these events in the archeological record and explores with the audience the lessons they may hold for us today.
