EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Bill Monaghan, associate director of the Glenn Black Lab of Archaeology at Indiana University, used his hands for emphasis as he spoke to local middle school students Friday about earth works construction, the mounds and past farming practices at the Angel Mounds State Historic Site.

Monaghan didn’t expect students to walk away remembering his 15-minute story explaining archaeology, but he said he would be happy if they remembered the methods used and that he was excited about what he does.
