They were in the wrong place, but Steve Webb's archaeology class decided to stay anyway. A colleague had mistakenly taken them to a site they'd never visited before, a nondescript-looking claypan lost among the pale dunes in the Willandra Lakes region of far western New South Wales.

...this sweet machine revs up Harvard’s students. This fall, the Eliot Grille, a student-run snack bar in Eliot House, is getting a neat new facelift. Proposed changes would transform its previous, drab decor into something that resembles a ’50s diner. Nondescript walls will now be washed in bright red and blue. And the House is buying ’50s-style furniture to complement the new paint job. This furniture would add to the Grille’s existing collection of retro furniture. Movie posters on the walls and records hanging from...
