Oregon more than 12,000 years ago - mammoths, giant ground sloths, and camels still roamed the land.

People were raising families, sewing clothing with bone needles and thread, harvesting plants, and adapting to a rapidly changing world.

How do archaeologists uncover stories as old as the Ice Age? Join archaeologist Dr. Katelyn McDonough for a behind-the-scenes look at how researchers piece together the past using clues like stone tools, pollen, campfires, animal bones, microscopic plant remains, proteins preserved on tools, and even ancient poop. Hear some of archaeology’s biggest misconceptions and explore how discoveries at every scale.
