Description

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 23, Issue 01, published in 2007. The theme of this issue is Digging Appalachia (Archaeology). This issue explores the many meanings of "digging" in Appalachia, from archaeological discovery and paleontology to mining, farming, and the search for cultural roots. Articles highlight the remarkable Gray Fossil Site in Northeast Tennessee, alongside reflections on coal mining, family cemeteries, ginseng fathering, and the everyday labor of working the land. Through stories of scientists, farmers, treasure hunters, and community members who "dig" in the region in both literal and figurative ways, the issue examines how uncovering the past, whether in fossils, soil, or memory, deepens understanding of Appalachian history, identity, and connection to place.
