Seeking the First Americans

Archeologists from Texas to Alaska search for clues to the identity of the first people to tread the North American continent-- the early hunters who between 11,000 and 50,000 years ago crossed the Bering Straits in pursuit of game.

Shipwreck: La Tinindad Valencera

The wreck of La Trinidad Valencera, the fourth-largest ship in the Spanish Armada, was discovered by amateur divers in 30 feet of water off the coast of Ireland. Their finds, ranging from bronze cannons to leather shoes, tell a unique story of life on a 16th century battleship.
