Saving Poverty Point's past for the future | Diana Greenlee | TEDxULM

Dr. Greenlee shares with us her unique perspective on the theme "tomorrow shaping today." As an archaeologist, she studies the past with the mission to preserve it for the future. Watch as she gives you some basic 101 on archaeology and Poverty Point, the only World Heritage site in Louisiana. Dr. Greenlee is the Station Archaeologist at the Poverty Point World Heritage Site and an Adjunct Professor of Archaeology at University of Louisiana at Monroe. She earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2002 and has been the Poverty Point Station Archaeologist since August 2006. She collaborates with other archaeologists to study the landscape using geophysical survey, soil coring, and excavation to learn more about the plants, animals, and lithic resources used by the people of Poverty Point. She recently discovered an unknown ancient mound! Diana was deeply involved in the Poverty Point World Heritage initiative–from making the initial application to the U.S. World Heritage Tentative List to taking the role as lead writer of the nomination dossier to attending the 2014 World Heritage Committee meeting as a member of the official U.S. delegation. She recently coauthored the book Poverty Point: Revealing the Forgotten City. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
