All lectures will be held at 7 p.m. inside the Marvin E. Smith Community Room at the Grant R. Brimhall Library, 1401 E. Janss Rd., Thousand Oaks. At the conclusion of their hour-long presentations, the speakers will engage in Q&A with the audience.
 
The series kicks off Thursday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. with “The Human Prehistory of the Channel Islands and Coastal California: A 10,000 Year Retrospective.” Drawing from 20 years of research experience, Anthropology Professors Jennifer Perry and Colleen Delaney will present an overview of the prehistory of coastal Ventura County and the Channel Islands from an archaeological perspective. Learn why this region is so unique and the importance of the islands to people today. Professors Delaney and Perry will focus on human interactions with these environments, starting with their initial occupation and how this informs our understanding of the earliest colonization of the Americas. They will also discuss changes in climate, population, and technology through time, with emphasis on boats, trade, and interaction between the Chumash, Tongva, and their ancestors on the islands and mainland.
