Friends and colleagues: You can see two unique features in the March 2015 edition of          Strata: Portraits of Humanity, available online and on TV:        
         
         
         
* From King Arthur and the Isle of Avalon to the incredibly preserved remains of prehistoric trackways and lake villages, the unique wetland of the Somerset Levels and Moors in southwest England has a rich and varied heritage.        
         
         
         
* For 50 years, Basque families across the American West have gathered in Elko, Nevada, on the July Fourth weekend to celebrate their culture.  This segment displays the 2013 National Basque Festival, featuring music, dancing, traditional foods, and competitions in weightlifting, log splitting and chorizo-making.        
         
         
         
Unlike any other show available anywhere,          Strata is a fresh monthly showcase for unique, captivating and diverse stories about our cultural heritage from an archaeological perspective.  We have a preview at          http://youtu.be/XuyWf092WYA.   Check it out!
