Come to think of it, we probably do, but none of us knows it…

I would be most interested if not quite so far away. I have had the very interesting and fun experience of participating as a volunteer in the excavation of an Indian camp many thousands of years old in southwest Oregon, USA. Amazing how interesting and fun it can be sifting dirt for signs of stone tools, arrow points and ancient fires. A member of the Cow Creek band of the Umpqua Indian tribe was present during the dig along with the archeologist. The discussions along with the dig were memorable. I would recommend the experience to anyone.
