October 11, 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most infamous crimes in Southern Oregon. This tale has train robbers, rumors of gold, dynamite, and all the intrigue of an old timey wild west crime overlaid on the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing world.

Underground History has recently featured two individuals that have applied their creative vision to the world of archaeology. We spoke with mixed-media artist Sam Roxas-Chua about his time working with the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology鈥檚 Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project (OCDP) while he was the artist in residency at the Portland Chinatown Museum (PCM), and musician Stephen O鈥橫alley about his recent event, You Origin, which transformed the Neolithic alignments of Carnac in Brittany into an immersive three-day musical event. While 鈥渁rteaology鈥� isn鈥檛 a word yet, my recent experiences have suggested that maybe it should be.
