In June of 2004 Dr. Richard Michael Gramly along with several volunteer amateur archeologist were back exploring at

Ka-Do-Ha Indian Village in Murfreesboro Arkansas in the continuing search for knowledge of the Caddo Indians, and

 we thought you might like to know how thing went, here is some information and pictures to up-date you on the 2004 dig.

                     First day while getting the dig started Dell just happened to find a very nice point while walking over to help get things started

                 This is in the pit on day one.                                                          This is the after effects of the storm that came through on the first night.

                                                                                                                                                             Unfortunately it rained most of the dig, but dampened no ones spirit.

                  This is in the pit on day three                                                          Post hole in the pit

Pieces of Deer Bone found in pit.
