Here it is, trying to buy
the pot. Here he goes.
Buying the pot.
-He doesn't have enough to buy it.
-Buying the pot.
What do you got?
Let's see 'em.
-That's lucky.
-No he has.
That's a flush.
-He had a flush...
-You're lucky.
-It's called being The Champ.
-That's what it's called.
I'll give you "The Champ". Take your
God damned money there, f***in' punk.
Thank you very much! F*** yeah.
F***in' stripper girls on me
tonight, boys.
It's gettin' cold, boys.
I could share some of this with
you gentlemen, if you'd like.
It is the first of November.
Well, look at this.
One month from today, I'll be sippin'
margaritas with the lady in Florida.
-Florida?
-Every year, baby. Christmas in Florida.
Margaritas?
Is that, Disney World or
Disney Land in Florida?
What was that, excuse me?
Is it Disney World or
Disney Land in Florida?
PPAh, f*** Disney World.
I'm there for the women, dude.
I'm a grown man.
The women and your girl?
Well...
That's what this money will
help me get, right?
Well
I like a white winter.
So what's the deal, you staying
here again this year?
Yeah. F***.
I love it up here, you know.
You poor son of a b*tch.
Stupid.
-Alright.
-I like the double pay, man.
I'll need it after this poker
game.
Double pay, right...
I wanna see this. C'mon, give
me something good here.
Let's see what we got here.
Here we go. Game on, bud.
Jensen!
-Jensen, come in!
-F*** me!
Chopper's comin' in.
We got company.
Outpost NTC-291,
this is DBA Transport.
Stand by for landing...
Check. Check.
Fold.
Alright, everyone.
This is Professor Olsen.
Head of archaeology for U of T.
Head of field research for the SAA.
Professor, Francis Mnro, project
director. Pleasure to meet you.
Likewise. I did a paper
on you in University.
That's Drew McNaughton, he's
our equipment technician.
And Robert Michael Giles,
field supervisor.
What he's doing here and not
on site is beyond me.
I'm on my break.
And that's, Dr. Richard Andervs,
site assigned medical supervisor.
-Pleasure to meet ya.
-Likewise.
Let me know if
you need anything,
It would be nice to do something
around here for a change.
Let me show you the lab.
-You want in here?
-Yeah.
Alrighty.
Do it up.
And this is Steven Welles, he's
here on a corporate internship
with a company in Calgary.
He's been my assistant for the
past few months.
-How's it going?
-Well, thank you.
You've got a very
impressive resume.
Thank you.
Professor Olsen is here to write a
report to hopefully get us a grant
from the SSHRC to get us more
funding and more hands.
Hey, that would be great. I really
look forward to working with you.
Likewise.
So, how was the trip in?
Long.
Yeah, it's a long ride on that chopper.
You're lucky, it's three times as long
if you were to ride
up during a storm.
Is it usually this cold out?
It's not usually this warm.
-Really?
-Yeah.
So I...
Bet you're wondering why they
sent you up to
a Northern Paleo Indian outpost.
Something like that, yeah.
I'm curious what they told you.
Unusual Clovis findings.
That's all?
They were pretty
vague with the details.
Yeah, we were pretty stingy
with the details ourselves.
It's pretty standard, right?
Yeah, I'd say. Standard Clovis
culture. Yeah.
The past three years we've stationed
here, that's all we've dug up.
11,000 B.C.E. Clovis.
It's pretty interesting stuff.
Nothing too exciting though.
Right.
Two weeks ago,
we found this pot.
11,000 B.C.E. Clovis pottery.
It's interesting, but not
impossible.
Yeah, that's not what's
interesting, though.
dated to 14,000 B.P.
14,000 B.P. Clovis pottery.
Nope, not Clovis.
Pre-Clovis pottery?
Mesoamerican.
I mean, it looks Mesoamerican.
It's got similar
symbols and markings.
We're over 4,000 miles from the
nearest Mesoamerican site.
There's one hundred different
reasons for this being here.
Early trade activity in this
area,
ceremonial burial of a more recent
culture. Something like that.
Right, but 14,000 B.P.?
Well, you know that radio-carbon
dating's not always accurate.
Right...
We've also started unearthing a
structure.
A structure?
A week ago, we began unearthing
a large object that we think
is the roof of a structure that
goes down...
Well, really far.
How far?
Maybe a meter. Maybe ten meters.
We don't know.
We don't want to jump to any conclusions
here. I mean, it could be nothing.
It could be planted...
We don't know.
Right. But...
If this is the real deal, then we're
looking at one of the biggest finds
in the past century. We are right in
the middle of the ice-free corridor
and this could confirm that
theory.
Over the past three years we've covered
over two square kilometers of ground.
Going as deep as
12,000 B.P. of sediment.
Have a good night.
Any of them speak English?
All of 'em.
They speak Dogrib with one another,
but they're all fluent in English.
Any of them have experience
with Archaeology?
Not one of 'em.
No, they're all from a reserve about
a hundred miles south of here.
We just pay the, band council
and they give us workers.
Usually finish this early?
We don't get much sunlight up
here.
And when the sun isn't
up, it hits fifty below.
Sun goes down real fast.
Yeah, get stuck out here for
long and your blood will freeze.
I wouldn't want to be the poor son of
a b*tch to have to experience that.
Okay, gentlemen. Thank you
again.
you get?
What, this time of year?
I don't no.
Like five... Five and a half.
You know, we try to use as we can
but come December and January
we barely get any at all.
So, what do you do with the
other nineteen hours?
Drink, mostly.
Welles and Mnro sleep there.
That's my office, and
there's the communication cabin.
That's where Jensen is.
And McNaughton and Giles, they have
their own cabins; They're over there.
And, this is us.
Home, sweet home.
That's me.
Ramis, the site chef; He sleeps
in there.
It's pretty small.
Cozy.
It's a sh*t hole.
You're upstairs, c'mon. I'll
show ya.
And, finally, your room.
Bed's kind of shitty, but it'll
do the trick.
That heater takes about an hour
to start to work, so...
Sometimes you gotta smack it
around a little.
You're gonna need blankets,
pillows...
There's a stack of that stuff in
laundry room; It's the next room over.
By the way, it gets kind of
loud.
-Wonderful.
-Yeah, it sounds shitty, but
there's a little vent there that siphons
hot air from the machines into this room
so it's actually not that shitty.
Believe me, in a couple of days
you're gonna be thankful we
gave you this room.
Enjoy.
Hey, puss.
Gibson, get off the table.
Gibson!
Okay.
Beat it.
-Bye, puss.
-We're out of eggs.
Alright... Anything else?
Yeah, we'll be out of milk soon.
Okay, I'll radio it in tomorrow.
How many more sites like this
are there?
There's a site like this, one
every hundred miles or so.
Two dozen spread across
