In today’s episode we continue our series on the early peopling of the Americas, examining who they were, where they came from, how they arrived, and how they adapted to ever changing climates.  Joining us for this episode is Dr. Bruce Bradley, an Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter.  Dr. Bradley received his BA from the University of Arizona in anthropology with a minor in geology (and a strong passion for archaeology).  He later received his PhD in archaeology from the University of Cambridge in experimental archaeology in 1977.
His early research was focused on the North American Southwest and Great Plains where he applied an anthropological approach to much of his work. During some 30 years of field work he has been involved in research and excavations in America, England, France, Ireland, Spain, Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Russia and Brazil. His areas of expertise include the early peopling of the Americas, the Clovis Culture, flintknapping techniques, horse domestication in Central Asia, and prehistoric Pueblo archaeology of the American Southwest.
Dr Bradley is the author of several books and a multitude of scientific peer-reviewed journal articles. He is active in bringing his archaeological and anthropological interests to the public through presentations, teaching, interaction with Native American communities and his participation in documentaries.
