Underwater Archaeology
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-10-25/underwater-archaeology
Our region is so rich with history -- but parts of it are still completely unmapped, unexplored and brimming with artifacts. We're talking about the riverbeds. Using sonar and science, underwater archaeologists are mapping sunken artifacts in the Potomac and its tributaries. We find out what lies in the murky depths -- including details about a famous shipwreck near George Washington's home.
