The OHS Archaeology Staff recently received a terrific tribute from David Letterman and we just had to share it.
“Dr. Lepper is the man I turn to for all my Archaeological needs. From Dinosaur eggs to prehistoric hats, Dr. Lepper and the Archaeology team at the Ohio Historical Society are awesome. David Letterman”
In honor of David’s gracious testimonial, we decided to put together our own Top Ten List! So here are the Top Ten Reasons Why Archaeology Rocks at the Ohio Historical Society, beginning with Number 10:

We’d be all over the hats, though!
Here’s the link for Number 9:
