Save the Date (Oct 11): 2024 Wendorf Lecture

Sept. 30, 2024 — Wealth inequality actually has a long history: Tim Kohler will speak about it at SMU’s Wendorf Distinguished Lecture in Archaeology on Friday, Oct. 11, 5 p.m. at Moody Hall Auditorium.

Kohler is professor emeritus of archaeology and evolutionary anthropology at Washington State University whose work involves quantitative analysis of archaeological data or simulation of aspects of prehistoric behavior.

He is especially interested in cooperative behavior, wealth inequalities and their consequences, reciprocity, and other processes with evolutionary implications in Neolithic societies, and large-scale patterning in prehistoric societies.

The Wendorf Distinguished Lecture in Archaeology is named after Fred Wendorf, who founded the Anthropology Department at SMU in 1964.
