OT: On a Happier note, MGoArchaeology
2,200-year-old coin found at a University of Michigan dig site in Israel. Heaviest ever found.

Yes, the site is shared with that other U of M, but it just proves that after a rain storm, there is a rainbow, and at the end of that rainbow is a 27.71g gold coin.
Leaders on the field and out in the world.

For some reason I read this as trying to say that there was a University of Michigan located in Israel 2,200 years ago. Man, we don't joke about tradition, do we?

Humans in Michigan 11,000 years ago? The date for Humans in the America's keeps getting pushed back.

the University of Minnesota contingent is headed by a professor (Andrea Berlin) who got her Ph.D. at Michigan under the supervision of the Michigan professor who co-directs the dig (Sharon Herbert). I took a class with Sharon Herbert when I was at Michigan and she's a fantastic professor and a great person.
