I was so excited about mastodons last week that I followed a thread from my reading and drove to the site of the Peale Mastodon dig. The site’s documentation for its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places had a lot of surprising (to me) detail, including that the pond dug by Peale’s workers in 1801 is still there. Sick! There’s a Dollar General next to it now.
