Bibles, Bones & Bison: The Vézère Valley & the Invention of Prehistory

Aquitaine Soirée: from Lascaux to Bordeaux (1/5)
Thursday, February 4th at 5 PM Eastern Time

Join us in pursuit of a scandalized bishop’s wife, the theft of a giant fish, a dog in a rabbit hole, a bored eight-year-old girl and an obsessed Catholic priest, as we scramble through the caves of France’s idyllic Dordogne region, unravelling the fascinating story of prehistoric art.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until March 31st, 2021.
