American Institute of Archaeology Webinar - Dr. Patrick Hunt

 The WCS Eighth Grade Ancient History Scholars were very lucky to be able to attend the AIA Webinar, Otzi the Iceman's Prehistoric Medical Kit with Dr. Patrick Hunt as part of our archaeology and prehistory units. If you missed Dr. Hunt's talk, or would like to watch it again, you can find it recorded on this YouTube page. (YES! THE SHOUT OUT TO MRS. NIXON'S ANCIENT HISTORY CLASS IS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO!)

Dr. Hunt is from Stanford University, Stanford Alpine Archaeological Project, and National Geographic Hannibal Expedition. He is an Archeoethnobotonist with the Institute for Ethnomedicine. Patrick Hunt has been a featured scholar in four Otzi documentaries:  Death of the Iceman National Geographic Explorer TV. 2008; Iceman Murder Mystery NatGeo NOVA. 2011; Iceman Reborn NOVA 2016; and the forthcoming Otzi NatGeo documentary   We have watched videos in class in which he appeared and we were very excited to hear his lecture.

There were over 900 participants in this webinar, from around the world, and WCS MIDDLE SCHOOL ANCIENT HISTORY CLASS WERE THE ONLY SCHOOL GROUP! We were thrilled that Dr. Hunt answered some of our questions and gave us a SHOUT OUT by name!  At Dr. Hunt's request, we have arranged a time when he can speak with us individually - we have many questions for him!
