The Milwaukee Society of the AIA is pleased to have UWM’s own Ashley Lemke (Anthropology) who will deliver an in-person lecture on “An Archaeology of Our Cultural World Submerged: Underwater Archaeology in the Great Lakes.”

Dr. Lemke’s talk will present research on the area below Lake Huron, exploring a preserved ice-age landscape and archaeological sites that date to 9,000 years ago. Investigations have documented stone-built hunting structures, including hunting blinds and recovered artifacts. Lemke will provide an overview of the research which includes the use of underwater robots, sonar, and virtual reality to explore the ancient Great Lakes and their flooded history.
