Mechanized Archaeology using Paleo Digger - Ep 175

Brian Fritz is an archaeologist and inventor that saw an issue with deep digging

in Pennsylvania. To help out he developed a new machine that can basically do an

auger test down to 7 meters, log the levels along the way, and there's an

attached mechanized screen. It's a pretty cool system and we hear how he

developed it and what he hopes to do in the future with this new system.
