Whats news with the Mai Wah Archaeological Dig?

No dinosaurs yet...

Hi! It's been a few days since we updated; uptown Butte was pretty crazy with Knievel Days this past weekend. The archaeological dig has been exciting as well. Just in the past few days, Mitzi and the gang have uncovered more shoes, two soy sauce pots (these are my favorite!), a beautiful intact vase, several more bottles, a coin from 1901, and an intact bowl from an opium pipe.
In other exciting news, the dates for the dig have been extended! We now have until August 15th or 16th to excavate the site.
Today, the cast of Montana Today came by the site, and I had a lively talk with Monte about the history of the Chinese in Butte and the dig site. We'll be on the show this Friday, August 3rd, at 6:30 in the morning.
Remember that tours of the dig site are available from 10 to 4, Monday through Friday, and the Mai Wah Museum is open from 11 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday. See you there!
