Sierra Club hosts Parker at Nov. 17 meeting

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Sierra Club Lake Group will host archaeologist Dr John Parker at its meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 17.


The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Lakeport Yacht Club, 15 Fifth St. in Lakeport,


Parker will give a presentation on “12,000 years of Clear Lake Prehistory,” using pictures and artifacts to conduct a 12,000-year ride with the first people to make Clear Lake their home.


His talk, based on 20 years of research, will cover the timing and means of their arrival, explore environmental changes, and discuss the ways these changes affected the culture, technology and population of the native peoples of the Clear Lake basin.


A graduate of Sonoma State University with advanced degrees from UC Davis and UCLA, Dr. Parker played an instrumental role in the establishment of Anderson Marsh State Historic Park, taught archaeology at Mendocino and Yuba Community Colleges, and served as a Clearlake Planning Commissioner.


More recently, he took the lead in establishing the eligibility of Rattlesnake Island for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.


Dr. Parker's presentations are always both informative and engaging. His last appearance at a Lake Group meeting drew a standing room only crowd, so it would be a good idea to arrive early to get a good seat.


The meeting is free and the public is invited.
