Peabody award winning Smithsonian filmmaker Ted Timreck will share documentary footage from two little known discoveries that show the potential of what might be found anywhere in the New England countryside. After the viewing Ted will explain how the controversial “diffusion” discoveries of the 1970’s made by amateurs in local communities evolved into the discovery and recognition of an unknown chapter in Eastern Maritime Native history going back to the Ice Age. That led to research that extends out onto the submerged continental shelf in the Atlantic. Ted has been a regular speaker at Friends of Pine Hawk events and is best known for his thirty-year exploration of the Northeast’s antiquarian past, with the Hidden Landscape film series.
