Recent discoveries at a site in Reisterstown suggest that Ice Age hunter-gatherers inhabited what is now Baltimore County, crafting tools from local stone, which they then carried with them throughout the region. This online presentation by Zachary Singer will provide an overview of the Paleoindian Period (13,000-10,000 years before present) in Maryland based on data from the statewide Maryland Fluted Point Survey and recent excavations organized by the Maryland Historical Trust.
Zachary Singer is State Terrestrial Archeologist at the Maryland Historical Trust. Zac received his BA in anthropology from the University of Maryland and his MA and PhD. in anthropology from the University of Connecticut. Zac’s research interests include archeological geophysics, 3D photogrammetry, lithic technologies and Fluted Point sites in Eastern North America.
