In proclaiming September as Kentucky Archaeology Month, Gov. Steve Beshear recognized the success of Living Archaeology Weekend, Kentucky's oldest and largest public archaeology event.
The proclamation credits the Kentucky Office of State Archaeology, located within UK's Department of Anthropology, and the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office for maintaining an extensive and growing database of thousands of archaeological sites across the state.
Over the summer a team of faculty and students from University of Kentucky discovered evidence of not just one lost community, but two in northern Italy.
