| Ms. Cowley's flexible fifty-minute presentation consists of a back-and-forth discussion of prehistoric archaeology, the writing of her books, and the differences and similarities of ancient ways of life and our own. In addition, she shows some twenty slides of cave art and artifacts that are graphic examples of the material in her books. She also brings in authentic tools and weapons owned by UCLA, which students are invited to handle after the presentation. Her fee schedule is also flexible and dependent on the number of presentations and the budget of the school.
