Fear of heights? Not this archeologist! 🫣

Featured in the newly published book, "Below Nebraska: Archeology and Ancestors," this photograph shows an archeologist scaling a cliff during excavations at the Lime Creek site.

The site was one of three Late Paleoindian sites in the Medicine Creek Valley excavated by the University of Nebraska State Museum - Morrill Hall in 1947-1950 before the flooding of the Harry Strunk Reservoir.

Curious to learn more about these excavations? The book is available for purchase at the Nebraska History Museum Gift Shop and online at https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska-state-historical-society/9780933307445/below-nebraska/.
