Are you talking about the one down in south America, where they found
the cooking fires of a villge, and some buildings, and several
sets of footprints in the mud (or what used to be mud)?  One of them was
the footprints of a toddler, if I recall correctly.

I went back to where I lived when I was very little, before I reached
school age.  It was, in many ways, a different world.  But the creek
that was down the road from our house, where we used to go with buckets
to get our drinking water, was still there, and still *looked*
pristine and safe.  I wasn't about to test it, however.
