How Do Archaeologists Figure Out What Ruins Were? | The Cliff Mine Archaeology Project

If you came across the ruins of a copper mine in the forest, how would you figure out what you were looking at? To learn more, I spent an afternoon with Dr. Sean Gohman, who started Michigan Tech University's Cliff Mine Archaeology Project. I thought this conversation was fascinating, and I hope you enjoy it.
