Where: The Magnolia Room, second floor of the Reynolds Center on the SAU Campus, Magnolia, AR
The program for the November meeting of the Kadohadacho Chapter of the Arkansas Archeological Society will feature Dr. Duncan McKinnon. Duncan is no stranger to us in southwest Arkansas; he began working with the Kadohadacho Chapter back in 2007 when he was conducting a remote sensing survey for his MA thesis on Battle Mound in Lafayette County. Duncan has continued to work with us through his Ph.D. dissertation—synthesizing historical excavations and new high-tech remote sensing data at the Battle Mound site. Moreover, in 2010 Duncan taught an Honors College seminar at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia entitled “Myths, Symbolism and Moundbuilders” (ANTH 4133). Dr. McKinnon is now a newly-minted Ph.D. and a Visiting Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. Additionally, he joined the PBS series Time Team America—a cross between a documentary and reality TV program following a team of archeologists as they work on sites around the country. Duncan joined the program for its second season (airing this spring). You can find out more about Time Team America at their website: http://www.pbs.org/opb/timeteam/
