University to be featured on Discovery Channel
Local archaeology, modern technology and old-fashioned 19th century cannibalism come together Saturday night when University research is spotlighted in a Discovery Channel program about the Donner Party.
Guy Tasa, an assistant adjunct anthropology professor, will be featured on the show “Unsolved History” using the University’s field emission scanning electron microscope to study bone fragments from one of two Donner encampments excavated this summer. The episode has aired twice this week and will be repeated a final time Saturday at 7 p.m.
