An archaeological project not only unearths the past—it also digs into the fabric of the local community. This two-part series explores both kinds of excavation, offering a nuts-and-bolts case study and a look at the community involvement a major dig requires. While the first episode illustrates the process by which Michigan’s centuries-old Fort St. Joseph was rediscovered, the second program depicts Western Michigan University scholars and students as they continue excavations while building community support and historical awareness. 2-part series, 17-30 minutes each.
