Archaeologists Don't Always Need to Dig—They've Got Drones
from Science, Spoken · host SpokenLayer
On the morning of August 21—the day of the solar eclipse—five archaeologists and I piled into two SUVs and drove an hour northwest of Tucson, into the thick of the Sonoran Desert. Turning off-road, we reached a yellow expanse inside Ironwood Forest National Monument through a series of latched gates. We brought eclipse glasses, but the quarter-sliver of the sun was just a sideshow. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
