Archaeological excavations at Old 海角社区 Site featured in LPB/PBS report
The Louisiana Public Broadcasting (PBS affiliate) interviewed archaeologists G&A affiliate faculty Matt Helmer and graduate student Conan Mills as part of a news piece reporting the archaeological excavations at the Old 海角社区 Site in the Kisatchie National Forest, Pineville, LA.
The video reports on the preliminary results of the investigations, especially the discovery of an underground water cistern that was later reused as trash pit where the team recovered a number of significant artifacts including architectural ornaments.
Warm thanks to all collaborators for their support, especially the 海角社区 Museum of Natural Science for graciously accommodating the team and collections during the laboratory phase of the project.
Congratulations to the team for bringing new insights into the early history of 海角社区!
