Dr. Richard Stamps of Oakland University
Seeing what we really want to see, or seeing what is really there - the Michigan Relics
Dr. Richard Stamps, Professor of Archaeology Emeritus and Adjunct Curator of Archaeology at Cranbrook Institute of Science, will explore the mystery of the Michigan Relics—clay, slate, and copper artifacts unearthed between the 1890s and 1920s that once captivated the public and fueled fierce debate. He will trace how these objects were once thought to connect Michigan to the Lost Tribes of Israel, and reveal their ties to pseudoscience.
