bachelor’s degree in sociology with a minor in anthropology. He began a personal project

In his early 20’s Marty met a fellow
Texan named Roy Wenmohs. Roy
and Marty continued to practice the
martial arts of Okinawa and to
discuss anthropological topics for
the next several years. Roy soon
introduced Marty to a friend, a
teacher of ancient history and
language, named Robert Bogan.
The three men began a free
exchange of ideas that resulted in
the creation of the Austin Texas
Lithic Arts and Technology League,
ATLATL. They now meet regularly to
discuss science and ancient
civilizations.
