Presentation: Archaeology in the Sand Sea by Dr George Leader
Updates on research and dating of the sites south of Gobabeb
Archaeological sites are notoriously challenging to study in the Sand Sea. Mostly surface sites, they are difficult to date and frequently moved through many natural processes. This talk shared the latest research by the SANDS (Survey and Archaeology of the Namib Desert Surface) Team. Specifically, the results of new efforts at the site of Narabeb were discussed as well as future directions of the project.
George Leader is an archaeologist at The College of New Jersey specializing in the Earlier Stone Age and cultural transmission throughout the archaeological record. He has spent the past 15 years working on sites throughout southern Africa. George received his BA from Gettysburg College in the United States, and his MSc and Ph.D. from University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.
This presentation was held on 9 July 2024 at the Namibia Scientific Society.
