MAS-MCAS lecture: Dr. Janis Treworgy

Date: Tuesday, October 7, 2003
Time: 7:00PM - 9:00PM CDT (GMT-05:00)

As President of the Mound City Archaeological Society -- the St. Louis Chapter
of the Missouri Archaeological Society -- I'd like to invite everyone to our
next monthly meeting, which will be held Tuesday, October 7, at 7:00 pm at the
St. Louis County Library Headquarters, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd. (across from
Plaza Frontenac).

This month's featured speaker will be Dr. Janis Treworgy, Associate Professor
and Program Chair of Earth Science at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois. For
more information about Dr. Treworgy, visit

Dr. Treworgy will prsent "Unearthing the Principia Wooly Mammoth".

For the past 17,000 years, a woolly mammoth, nicknamed “Benny," has been hiding
six feet below ground nestled between two Principia College campus dormitories.
Benny’s presence was detected in 1999 when a backhoe uncovered one of his teeth.
The site was transformed into a modern paleological excavation and, in the
spring of 2002, a geology class of 13 students uncovered two tusks and two
molars. Work continued by students and staff through the summer, and additional
bone material was found. This appears to be one of the most significant mammoth
finds in Illinois. For more information about this exciting project, visit

The Chapter business meeting will follow the lecture and will end positively no
later that 8:55 pm. Both activities are free and open to the public.
