Archaeology - May/June 2020

في هذه القضية

Visit Camp Nelson, a Civil War training ground that not only provided enslaved black men with the opportunity to enlist in the Union Army and attain their freedom, but also was home to thousands of refugee women and children who sought liberation with them. Journey to Wyoming to explore the Wind River Range and follow archaeologists as they discover dozens of settlements, some as much as 4,000 years old, at an altitude long thought inhospitable for long-term human occupation. Travel with us to Morocco and to a thriving town on the edge of the Sahara Desert where merchants traded gold, spices, and ideas for centuries. In these stories—and so many more—this issue of ARCHAEOLOGY brings the past to life.
