the creatures caught in tar. |
The Tar Pits are still a point of interest for visitors to Los Angeles. Excavation at Rancho La Brea has continued, off and on, since 1913. Many of their excavation techniques have remained the same as back then: Bones are excavated using small hand tools, field data is recorded with pen and paper, and excavators still do their own shoring. It smells funny but the park is fascinating.
