Archaeologists uncover clues about the Spanish, Mexican, and American occupations of El Presidio de San Francisco.
Bay Area archaeologists are uncovering San Francisco's hidden past at the largest public archaeological excavation west of the Mississippi.
"What we are looking at is the daily lives of people, what they ate, what they wore, what their living conditions were," archaeologist specialist Georgie Deantoni adds. "People really get excited to understand that we're telling stories of people from 200 years ago.""When they think about archaeology, they think about Europe, they think about Egypt. People don't even know that there is archaeology in the United States.
El Presidio de San Francisco can reveal a lot about San Francisco's past. Sitting by the main dig site, Jones discusses the area's history.
