DISASTER ARCHAEOLOGY

Ever heard of disaster archaeology? It's a new field - and a growing one! Join DIGTM as we go onsite at the World Trade Center. Find out why archaeologists were called in and what they found. Meet members of FAR, a group that's organizing nationwide - actually worldwide - to respond to disasters. Learn how they proved that the area first cordoned off at Ground Zero was too small. Watch as FAR trains for night and underwater work. Then travel to New Orleans and find out the role archaeologists played in the aftermath of Katrina. DIGTM will also introduce you to those working to identify MIAs (Missing in Action) and KIAs (Killed in Action) that fought in Vietnam, Korea, and World War II. Disaster archaeology is important work - you may even want to become involved!
