To some, it's a leafy park with good jogging trails. To others, it's a commuter's shortcut into the heart of Washington. But Rock Creek Park is also a treasure trove for archaeologists -- a place to dig up clues about the early Americans who lived in the D.C. area. Join Kojo as we talk with two archaeologists about their discoveries in the park and what they tell us about the history of the nation's capital.
