Location: West Virginia Length: 28 min
In ancient times before the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Walls of Jericho were ever built, Native Americans lived in West Virginia’s Kanawha Valley. Join the Cultural Resource Analysts Team as they excavate a history-rich site near the Marmet Locks. Layer by layer, they introduce us to the first inhabitants of the Valley from the hunting-gathering clans of the Paleo-Indians to the Archaic people, the Woodland Mound Builders, and the Late Prehistoric farmers. Learn what makes the state truly unique and the ties that bind it to the greater American legacy.
