Archaeologists Look for Immigrants who Built Ohio Canal
Clip: Season 5 Episode 4 | 4m 58sVideo has Closed Captions
Archaeologists explore the lives and deaths of the immigrants who built the Ohio Canal.
The Ohio Canal brought prosperity to Columbus, but the workers who built it – especially those who died of plague-like diseases – have been long buried and forgotten. Cholera is still a worldwide concern, and experts learn about the disease by comparing past victims to effects of modern strains. Archaeologists reveal how they found long-forgotten canal workers and study diseases of the past.
