Banquet Speaker Dr. Rolfe Mandel Dr. Rolfe Mandel received a B.A. in Geography from the University of Texas at Austin, an M.A. in Geography from the University of Kansas, and a Ph.D. in Special Studies from KU with a focus on Quaternary research. Currently he is Director of the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) and the State Geologist of Kansas. He has spent over 40 years working with archeologists on projects throughout the United States and eastern Mediterranean, focusing on the effects of geologic processes on the archaeological record. Much of his recent research has involved the use of geoscientific methods to search for the earliest evidence of humans in the Big Bend region of Texas, Central Great Plains, Midwest, and the Canadian Yukon. Dr. Mandel has received many awards and distinctions for his research and teaching at the University of Kansas. The Geological Society of America recognized his achievements with two prestigious awards: the George Rapp Award for outstanding contributions to the interdisciplinary field of archaeological geology, and the 2010 Kirk Bryan Award for Excellence. We are pleased to have Dr. Rolfe as our Banquet Speaker for this year’s TAS Annual Meeting. | Public Forum Speaker Bobby Gonzalez The Friday night Public Forum Speaker will be Bobby Gonzalez, Chairman of the Caddo Nation and a trained archeologist. During the meeting, there will be prominent exhibits and sales of artwork by Caddo artists such as Chase Earles, Chad Earles and Jeri Redcorn and others. At the end of the afternoon on Saturday, the Caddo Culture Club and the Metro Culture Club will conduct traditional dances and we can join in! |
