Lower Temperatures - Great time to Dig!

There are many places in the United States that can use support with dig staff or even public parks that allow fossil recovery.  I focused on Ohio and was pleased with the number of locations both free and for a small fee where you can dig with permission. 

Here is a site I used to look up some of my information, but look close to home.  This may be a chance under more favorable weather to do a little bit of archaeology "OFF" of the armchair and under very hospitable conditions.

More research specific to your area will also yield some positive results.  Start working with your local historical society and discover the many ways you can re-discover the past!

Early Remains Recovered

This is some great "old" news.  Previously discovered skeletal remains have been recovered giving new interest to the earliest date for man in the Americas.

Newly Discovered Mosaic

Here is a great article on a newly discovered mosaic.  I don't know about the best discovery in 50 years, but it is certainly near the top of the list!
