Sunday Speaker Series: What Can We Learn From Prehistoric Peoples of South Texas From Their Stone Tools?

September 30, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Brandi Reger’s presentation will be based on research conducted on chipped stone artifacts from collections of the Museum of South Texas History and Rio Grande Valley collectors. She became interested in how native peoples survived on the limited resources from water and stones in the region. How did the native peoples know that a stone would be a good tool for hunting food? How did they realize that stone tools could provide the necessary resources to survive in a subtropical area? Reger will pose and attempt to answer these questions in her presentation.

After ten years working as a Computer Aided Design technician creating computer programs, Reger decided to follow her dreams to become an archaeologist. Currently, she is a student at the University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley pursuing a bachelor’s degree.

Sunday Speaker Series is included in the fee for regular museum admission. FRIENDS of the MOSTHistory are admitted free as a benefit of FRIENDship.

This program is made possible with generous support from the Carmen C. Guerra Endowment. Mrs. Guerra was deeply committed to supporting educational opportunities in the Rio Grande Valley. This named endowment was created at the museum by her family to honor her memory and to continue her commitment to providing opportunities for education to the community.
