Scientists Probe Lewis & Clark Encampment
WARRENTON, Ore. - A fire that destroyed the replica of Fort Clatsop, where Meriwether Lewis and William Clark spent the winter of 1805-1806, has provided a rare chance for archaeologists to probe the ground where the fort stood, seeking even the subtlest evidence of the explorers or the Clatsop Indians who came before them.
They've only a small window of opportunity - till Dec 10 - but a great bit of luck for some archaeologists who wouldn't have gotten a chance otherwise. I hope they find everything they want.
