TV segment on the Topper Site

The University of South Carolina’s Topper archaeological dig site – home to some of the most significant research on earliest man in America – will be the subject of an hour-long episode of “Time Team America,” a new PBS television series airing at 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 15 on SCETV stations, including Beaufort's WJWJ. The Topper site, along the Savannah River, in nearby Allendale County (just outside the former boundaries of Beaufort District) has altered our understanding of the orginal residents of North America, the Clovis people.

The accompanying website, Topper, has loads of information about the site, the people who inhabited it, and the archaelogical dig. After the episode is broadcast, you can access replays online via the Time Team website.
