Dr. D. Clark Wernecke (project director for the Gault project),
speaks at the museum on the Gault site and it's archeological history.

(Dr.Wernecke, has a anthropological doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin and also serves as vice president of Explor­ing Solutions Past: The Maya Forest Alliance.)

The Gault Project is an important Paleoindian site in Central Texas. Evidence suggests that the site was home to some of the earliest inhabitants of North America, in addition to being continuously used for more than 11,000 years.

Archaeologists believe it is one of the oldest sites in North America.

More than a million artifacts have been uncovered at the site
and the excavations are far from being completed.
