A Deep Dive into Deep Time: Archaeology Underwater

with Dr. Ashley Lemke, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

Discover how underwater archaeology reveals ancient landscapes and human history hidden beneath today’s coastlines. In this talk, Dr. Ashley Lemke explores submerged sites on former Ice Age landmasses — once‑dry environments that supported plants, animals, and people for thousands of years. The lecture highlights the global importance of these underwater sites and offers a closer look at 9,000‑year‑old archaeological discoveries beneath the North American Great Lakes.
