Dr. Jelmer Eerkens will speak about a unique case of a mummified child from San Francisco in his talk “The Child That History Forgot” on Tuesday, April 24, 9:00 a.m. in the Recital Hall.

In 2016, workers unearthed a sealed metal coffin buried in the backyard of a San Francisco residence. Their startling discovery raised questions about the identity of the child found within whose remains were remarkably preserved. Dr. Jelmer Eerkens, an archaeologist at UC Davis, discusses his work on this unique case and how he and other researchers used genetic, genealogical, and forensic tools to reveal clues about health and living conditions in the 19th century and eventually, the child's very identity.

Dr. Eerkens is a professor of archaeology and director of the Archaeometry Lab at UC Davis. His projects span the globe from California to Peru to Western Europe and include research on ancient mining practices, the evolution of dice, and migration patterns among hunter-gatherers.
