Texas Archaeological Dig Rewrites American History
The Gault Site in Central Texas has yielded over two million artifacts, rewriting the history of human settlement in the Americas. Journalist Olive Talley's film, "The Stones Are Speaking," documents this significant discovery, made possible by the efforts of Dr. Mike Collins and his team. The site, previously threatened by decades of casual digging, is now protected. Talley states, "It's history, it's our history, it's human history." This discovery pushes back the timeline of human presence in Central Texas by thousands of years, challenging previously held beliefs. The story also highlights the emotional toll on Talley, who is documenting the work of Dr. Collins, who is battling Alzheimer's disease. The preservation of the Gault Site ensures that this rich history will continue to be studied and appreciated for generations to come.
