AirDancer, the canal and its story I have mentioned in the route pic thread.the col carter and Warren zeuch aren't mentioned in this article.
Off topic the zeuch home I have yet to photo.

It's going to be fascinating to see how the dig proceeds, and what can be gleaned from the remains.

I look forward to following the progress!

Many archaeologists appreciate volunteer helpers, even if it's for only a couple hours at a time.

You're in the fortunate position to see the progress. Hopefully, you'll take lots of pictures (if possible) !

I can but they dig under that tent.it's fences off.I no longer have this route.

Some degree of privacy and security keeps the artifacts/fossils from being pilfered.

I wonder how often information will be shared with the press?

Let's hope he doesn't push too hard. Dig sites take time to excavate.

No, if you notice the nearly 100 year lag ,old started the old vero ice age commitee.

The rotunda is a fine spot for displaying the fossils and information about what's been found. Quite a community plus!

Really? Now that's quite convenient!

Apparently, they've isolated a bit of human DNA. This is important to see what relationships the Pleistocene Floridians might have with more recent inhabitants like Amerind, Na-Dene, or Inuit.

Dna? From the vero man?@AirDancer the image shows the location of the display.just south of the canal are two red colored Mediterranean revival edifice.the southern most one is 1801 27th st

 

[AirDancer]

Scientists are able to pull DNA from fossils more and more. It shouldn't be long - if it hasn't already happened! - before work on Neaderthal DNA will be completed. It's amazing the progress that's being made.

Wonder what might be buried beneath some of the structures in the area of the canal

 

[jasonc]

Fossils at this dig haven't been found.no just artifacts.

 

[AirDancer]

Vero man, more than likely, had some DNA that could be examined

Not much of him.he was the only to have been preserved.the main relief canal when dredged here was said to go through a burial ground.

There has to be a reason for the archaeological team to return to Vero man beyond artificats/grave goods. It's already been established that trading amongst the various tribes and elsewhere had a long history. Since somebody is paying good money for the team to be there, I'm wondering what else they've found.
