David Bustos Brushes Away Sediment in a Trench

Resource Program Manager David Bustos kneels over a sediment layer inside a trench to closely brush away sediment from a footprint.

Researchers use brushes to carefully reveal the full impression of footprints found in delicate gypsum sand. These tools allow archeologists to directly work on a print without disturbing the surrounding area.
