Archaeologists call it an important discovery, but the ongoing dig for more remains has the homeowner and his family wondering when it will all end.
An Indiana state archaeologist places the Spencer County find in the top two percent of all archaeological findings in the state, and says it could be found to be even more significant.
Why so? Well the area, now designated as Spencer County 1082, houses remains that are rare not only because they're believed to date back to 4000 B.C., but because archaeologists also believe they've been undisturbed.
We reported on this some time ago. It's too bad really, even though the site will eventually probably be named after the family. We can't help thinking that the whole place should have been excavated by now, but it's possible they were waiting until the universities let out to get some student labor involved.
CSI: Archaeology Williams' Evidence Getting Fresh Look
Evidence in the death of a Douglas County teenager a year ago is getting a new look.
This week, forensic archaeologists visited the spot near 114th and Ida streets where Rebecca Williams' body was found last year. Because of an ongoing grand jury on the death, investigators could not say whether they unearthed anything new. However, Douglas County Chief Deputy Marty Bilek said evidence is getting a fresh review.
"We are looking at existing evidence in new ways with experts who can better recognize what it really is. DNA evidence has been sent to an outside laboratory," Bilek said.
