Archaeologists in Iowa have unearthed an ancient mastodon
skull in pristine condition, which they hope will provide clues
about human interaction with the ancient animal.

The bones were excavated earlier this month from a creek bank
in Wayne, taking nearly two weeks to complete.

The eroding site was first brought to the attention of Office of
the State Archaeologist, Iowa in 2022.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The brown felt fedora worn by actor
Harrison Ford in the second installment of the Indiana
Jones movies sold for $630,000 at auction, film and TV

The hat featured in 1984’s "Indiana Jones and the Temple
of Doom" was expected to fetch between $250,000 and
