Professor to lecture on ancient diets

When studying the past, anthropologists look for all kinds of evidence to know more about ancient people.

Henry Schwarcz, university professor emeritus of geography and geology and associate member of the anthropology department at McMaster University in Ontario, will give a Sigma Xi lecture today at 8 p.m. in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union.

The lecture, “You Are What You Eat: Decoding the Diets of Ancient Peoples” is free and open to the public.
