Faster than a speeding atlatl!
Stronger than a wooly mammoth!
Able to leap large earthworks in a single bound!

Look! Up in the trees!

It's a bird!
It's a piasaw!
It's ... ABO-MAN!

Yes, ABO-MAN, strange visitor from another state who came to Missouri
with powers and abilities far beyond those of modern men ... and who,
disguised as Larry Kinsella, mild-mannered flintknapper and president
of the Illinois Association for Advancement of Archaeology (IAAA),
fights the never-ending struggle for truth, justice and the
Native-American way.

----------------------------------------

Please join the Mound City Archaeological Society for an evening of fun
and adventure as Larry Kinsella presents "The Adventures of ABO-MAN".
This presentation is free and open to the public; everyone is welcome.
It will be held at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, March 5, at the St. Louis County
Public Library Headquarters, 1640 South Lindbergh Boulevard, just south
of Clayton Road across from Plaza Frontenac.

Primarily, this presentation will be about the prehistory of America,
starting in the Clovis period and continuing to the Contact period. In
talking about the different periods, ABO-MAN will also include insights
that his years as a craftsman, hunter, and amateur archaeologist have
taught him. Examples of these insights include:

- how the use of the atlatl, combined with Clovis technology, allowed
ancient hunters to take down animals - much larger than themselves;
- what bannerstones are used for; and
- the economics of flintknapping and stone tool manufacture in early
aboriginal groups.

While speaking to those ends, ABO-MAN will demonstrate flintknapping,
hafting, fire-making, stone axe use, stone drilling, cordage and fibre
use, and other aboriginal skills used by the ancient ones.

A question and answer period will follow the presentation, which is
about 45 minutes to 1 hour long.
