The Greater Southwest Chapter of the Oklahoma Anthropological Society (GSCOAS) will have its regular monthly meeting and program April 24 at 2pm at the Museum of the Great Plains in Lawton Oklahoma. Our guest speakers this month are the students who were involved in the recent excavation and lab work of the remains of a mammoth. The mammoth was discovered years prior in the southwest region of Oklahoma. Aware of the discovery and of the unique learning opportunities it could provide to students, Dr. Michael Dunn, Associate Professor of Biology at Cameron University, Debra Baker, Archaeologist for the Institute of the Great Plains and President of the GSCOAS, and John Hernandez, Director of the Museum of the Great Plains envisioned a plan that would put students in the midst of the discovery. Brandon Null, Rodney Roy, Dana Schaffer and Heather Young will share their experiences and research beginning at 2pm at the Museum of the Great Plains. The students' research will also be unveiled within the new exhibition entitled, The Grandfield Mammoth. 

Open to the public. There is no charge to attend.
