The 2006 meeting was held on January 29 at the Smith Middle School, 216 Addison Road, Glastonbury, CT.

The guest speaker was Dr. James Chatters, an archaeologist and paleontologist who has dedicated his life to understanding the human and environmental prehistory of North America. He was also the first scientist on the scene following the discovery of Kennewick Man by 2 college students. The title of his talk was, " The Discovery of Kennewick Man and its Aftermath."

In his talk, Dr. Chatters covered the 1996 discovery of the Kennewick Man skeleton in a stream bed in the southeastern portion of Washington state. Estimated to have lived about 9,400 years ago, his is one of the most important skeletal remains ever to have been discovered in North America. It may significantly alter conventional views of how, when and by whom the North American continent was populated.
