Vote for: What is the best archeological site in the United States?
attractions | May 27th, 2010 | by Owen Ferguson
America is a great country to visit. It has lots of modern sights and attractions, however, it also has a hidden side, a dark face that's usually trampled underfoot, a history built on the eradication of the indigenous culture. Thankfully, there are places all across the continent where that facade is crumbling a little bit, and dark, jagged pieces of the past are poking through. Which one of these American archeological sites do you find the most interesting?
