The Casa Frio Site in Frio County comprised a burial in what appeared to be a burned prehistoric pit house. Archeologists used computed tomography (CT) scanning, an x-ray technique common in medical applications, and other techniques to study sediment samples, which now casts doubt on the original field interpretation. Join us to learn what new analyses suggests about the burial!
