Notes: Worldwide historical archaeological discoveries, from the discovery of Zinjanthropus boisei, deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls, Sutton Hoo, Otzi the Ice Man, the Chinese terracotta army, the Aztec Templo Mayor, Machu Pichu, the list goes on and on. It’s amazing to me how often civilians could just walk up to a dig in progress and “Hi. Whatcha doin’?” Strangely, no Folsom, Mesa Verde, or Chaco. Probably best thought of as archaeological history, aimed at the layman rather than the professional.
