For Immediate Release

Have you ever descended into the depths of an Alaska cave? If not, you now have the opportunity to find out what's lurking in the dark. In recent years, cave explorers have traversed the caves of Southeast Alaska and what they've found has helped piece together the history of our state.

Daniel Monteith, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Alaska Southeast, will discuss how the information found within caves continually revises experts' ideas about the geology and human history of Alaska.
