– Tiguas watch NM site excavated: Despite the nearly 100-degree heat, Johnny Lopez got chills as he walked through the sand to a prehistoric 11-room pueblo in Southern New Mexico. Lopez, a Tigua tribal councilman, said the former inhabitants — believed to have occupied the site between A.D. 1300 and 1450 — are ancestors.

– Museum battling heavy metals: The substances, formerly used to protect artifacts from vermin, can cause serious health problems for those who handle the items. Before “heavy metal” was a musical term, it was a pesticide ingredient. Substances such arsenic and mercury were used to keep vermin at bay.

– Bison breakthrough: The 5,000-year-old bison skull was found with a spearhead in it. Rows and rows of dusty animal skulls adorn the walls of the Oklahoma Archaeological Survey, but one skull will make its television debut at 8 p.m. on the PBS show “History Detectives.”
