Conference Papers Available to Members

In order to foster scholarship and collaboration, we offer presenters an opportunity to have their conference papers included in our member-only section of the web site.  We are presently able to include PDFs of the papers themselves, but there is limited space on this site for large files or numerous illustrations.

If your presentation has many illustrations, we urge you to include it on your own blog.  In order to access this site, you have created your own WordPress account, and you are entitled to set up a blog there.  Once you add your paper to the blog, we can easily set up a link to this page, so that other members may read your presentation and see graphics as they were originally included.  We will provide title and abstract information, with a link to a PDF of the text of the paper.

a six-week online course offered in 2010.

This class was designed to  “meet around an on-line hearth” to explore myths and realities of life for our most ancient ancestors, the tribes of the Ice Age.   I am interested to share resources with other scholars of Ice Age life, art, and symbolism.  Contact me here:
