Watching it, lol some of these artifacts are almost 150 year's old!
Hardly archeology is it
Thousands of year's of native American history to investigate and they choose civil war stuff to dig up. |

In a camping forum I occasionally use, the American campers talk about finding Native American camp sites hundreds if not thousands of years old.
They go on to say bone tools and arrow heads etc are just laying on the ground round fire pits.
Apparently in the drier places things don't get washed away or buried... |

I think that given time they will be able to explore other periods of history. Owing to the lack of written sources, the size of the country and the semi-transient nature of some of the occupation, it must be tricky knowing where to dig for the best return. Whilst finding arrow heads and remains is interesting, it's not that novel, nor would it probably add to the corpus of knowledge.  |

Was it being shown in the US?
Because if it was then viewer ratings will be higher if the subject matter is the Civil War. I think I might go back and watch it, actually.

A lot of Native American sites are sacred, I should also imagine there's a reluctance to dig on sites where Native American genocide was committed or slave trade ports or markets |

It's was actually quite interesting and horrific how badly Americans treatment other Americans during the civil war.
Scenes reminiscent of concentration camps.

As humans we have always been bastards to others from different cultures/tribes.
Its why I am confused about the whole reparation for slavery argument. Why should one group still expect/want an apology for what happened generations ago. How far back should we go? For the english should we be asking the french/danes/Scandinavians/italians for an apology for invading this fair Isle?  |

Andersonville is a very good movie on the subject if you can find it.
The American Civil War is one of the most fascinating eras in human history for me - bit of Old World snobbery at work here

 If you're into American Civil War history watch Gettysburg. One of my favorite movies of all time. |
