Grand Canyon River Archaeology, Introduction. Welcome to a virtual tour of archaeological excavations along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park.
These excavations took place between 2007 and 2009. On this tour, you will visit archaeological sites that lay mostly hidden for centuries. Archaeologists excavated the sites, exposing them for a few days or weeks during which time these images were taken. Immediately after excavation, the sites were reburied to protect them from further damage from exposure to the elements and possible damage from visitation.
This tour is now the only way to experience these places where people once lived. In all, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) excavated nine archaeological sites along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon during three years of fieldwork. Erosion caused by this arroyo exposed part of a prehistoric wall. During excavation, archaeologists recovered artifacts such as potsherds and stone tools.

Lascaux. La découverte de Lascaux en 1940 a ouvert une nouvelle page dans la connaissance de l’art préhistorique et de nos origines.
Œuvre monumentale, la grotte continue de nourrir l’imaginaire collectif et d’émouvoir les nouvelles générations du monde entier. C’est à ce haut lieu de la Préhistoire qu’est dédiée la nouvelle publication multimédia du ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, publication qui réactualise autant la forme que le contenu scientifique de ce site mis en ligne en 1998, à la lumière des dernières avancées de la recherche archéologique.
Au delà de l’émotion et à la lumière des recherches les plus récentes, le site internet est destiné à faire comprendre les secrets des artistes qui ont peint et gravé le bestiaire de Lascaux il y a 19000 ans et à présenter les orientations actuelles de la recherche scientifique sur les grottes ornées.

Virtual Tour for Kids. Monday, April 28, 2014 The National Arboretum is a big place—446 acres.
That’s the size of about 339 football fields. An arboretum is an outdoor space that has a collection of plants, especially trees, that are special in some way. (Arboretum means “collection of trees” in Latin.) The National Arboretum was created by Congress in 1927 as the nation’s official location for trees, shrubs, and other plants that government scientists and horticulturists—people who work in gardens—want to collect and study. We’ve created this special tour for kids to introduce you to some of the Arboretum’s most interesting plants and places (actually, we tried to pick the most weird, cool, and gross plants to share with you!).
Take the virtual tour, then plan your visit to the Arboretum to see the plants and places in person. Virtual Tour Options: Start here, at the beginning Go directly to a specific tour stop by clicking a specific spot on the Map below Back to the Arboretum Home Page nasw Events & Education.
