Obsidian Flakes in Lake Huron, A Wielbark Cemetery, and a Computer Program Sorts Pottery - TAS 124

This week on The Archaeology Show, we discuss three exciting Archaeology Articles and News stories. First, two obsidian flakes from central Oregon have been found in an early Holocene settlement in Lake Huron. Second, an extensive cemetery in Poland gives the Wielbark civilization its name. And finally, researchers in Arizona have programmed a computer to sort pottery sherds faster and more consistently than humans can.
