Anthropology students have the opportunity to search for historic artifacts.
In 2017, student Mitchell Young discovered a horseshoe nail that was more than 400 years old.
He made the discovery while working with professor Donald Blakeslee at the archaeological site of the long-lost city Etzanoa, the known location of a 1601 Spanish and Native American battle near Arkansas City, Kansas.
