[OR_Archaeology] TAC

[POULEY John * OPRD]

Friends and colleagues: The latest installment of the Video News from TAC features the following stories:

* Chelsea Rose remembers excavating the house floor of Josiah Henson, whose autobiography inspired Uncle Tom's Cabin, for the upcoming PBS season of Time Team America.

* Divers and snorkelers can tour six shipwrecks on the Maritime Heritage Trail in Biscayne National Park.  The Arratoon Apcar ran aground just below an unfinished lighthouse in 1878.

* The Agnew Tramway in California's Sierra Nevada was built in 1915 to service a series of high-elevation dams still operating as the Rush Creek Hydroelectric Historic District.

You can see these stories in the July 2014 edition of this monthly half-hour show, available now on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org<http://www.archaeologychannel.org/>) as well as on cable TV in cities across the US.

Launched in October 2010, the Video News from TAC has presented 103 stories on highly varied topics in 16 US states and territories, 27 other countries, and two heavenly bodies (the Earth and the Moon).
