NMA Lunchtime Seminars: Natural Materials in Anthropology

 

You are invited to join us for our monthly virtual event where we will be focusing on natural materials in anthropology. This event will explore how natural materials have played a vital role in human development throughout history all the way through to modern day. From arrowheads to bark cloth, unlocking their secrets may offer solutions for a greener more sustainable future.


The interactive seminar will also provide the opportunity for Question and Answers and we often hang around at the end for a fun and engaging panel session.
