Archaeologists find site of biggest battle of 1855 Rogue River Indian Wars

Archaeologists and volunteers have found musket balls and other artifacts confirming the site of the biggest battle of the Rogue River Indian Wars nearly 150 years ago.

Southern Oregon University announced that the site of the 1855 Battle of Hungry Hill is on federal land west of Interstate 5 in Southern Oregon between Glendale and Sunny Valley, The Mail Tribune reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/Qbcain).

Pretty good set of cooperation between several folks in that one. One would think metal detectors would come in handy, looking for balls and such. Mapping those suckers would probably give you a good indication of where everyone was shooting from.
