In DIG History! kids experience how archaeologists investigate the past.
They explore ancient hunting methods, learn what our garbage says about us, and work alongside professional archaeologists to learn about forensic methods to solve crimes.

Excavation takes place at the Jeffersonian Publishing Plant site (9MF914).
The site is where Thomas E. Watson built a publishing plant back in 1910.
Nothing remains of the plant on the surface, so it is the job of our Junior Archaeologists to find what remains below the surface.
