Students excavate thousands of artifacts in downtown Boise

Over the last two weeks, archaeologists and students have been digging into Idaho's history, literally.

Less than a year ago, renovations on Boise's landmark Assay Office accidentally uncovered hundreds of artifacts.

Now, with the excavation project at an end, there are lots of new finds to dust off.

Anthropology professors Mark Warner and Renae Campbell with the University of Idaho joined Idaho Matters to talk about what they discovered.
