In this third and final session presenter James Kences progresses even further back in history exploring humankind and technology from the advances of metallurgy into the stone tool using cultures.Stone tools were humanity's first—and longest-lasting—technology, used for millions of years across every inhabited continent. This engaging presentation explores how stone tool–using cultures spread around the globe and laid the foundations for human civilization.Discover how these early societies mastered fire, built shelters, created art, developed textiles and pottery, domesticated plants and animals, and invented writing and watercraft—all long before the widespread use of metal. We'll also examine how archaeologists interpret stone tools to reconstruct the past, and the challenges of understanding ancient cultures from the evidence they left behind.

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**Author Randi Minetor will join us to discuss the "Death on Mount Washington: Stories of Accidents and Foolhardiness on the Northeast's Highest Peak". Randi is the author of eight books (working on the 9th!) in the non-fiction "Death in the National Parks" series, explores the fatal mistakes people make when they venture into unfamiliar wilderness. Collected here are some the most gripping accounts in park history and new stories about people losing the battle with natural forces or perishing from their own folly.About the Book:On Mount Washington, it’s lack of preparation, not the mountain, that kills. The weather is highly changeable with wind gusts of 140 mph and -35 degree temps. Then there are the avalanches and icefalls. Combine this with inexperienced hikers in t-shirts and flip flops and things can get ugly fast.Death on Mount Washington describes the circumstances behind the tragic tales of those who have lost their lives on the mountain. No one--not even the most experienced mountaineer or pilot--is safe from the mountain's mercurial weather conditions. Learn from the mistakes of others in the comfort and safety of your armchair and remember to respect Mount Washington on your next ski trip.This program is being offered in partnership with Ashland Public Library.
