<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Scientific American Dec 2014 appears to have created a new area of employment for both paleontologists and archaeologists in their mixed metaphor article "<b>Fossil Hunting</b>... in the Milky Way" by Kathryn V. Johnston. <br><br>She has a subsection entitled "<b>Digging for Galactic Fossils</b>" that: "Over the past 15 years <i>galactic archaeologists</i> have gotten just that in the form of data from the Sloan Sky Survey (SDSS)." <br><br>Another subsection "<b>New Excavation Tools</b>" "Two groups are now measuring chemical compositions for millions of stars, and their data could be used to tackle this problem. One is the <i>GALactic Archaeology</i> with HERMES (GALAH) survey led by Freedman and Bland-Hawthorn, which has a pilot survey currently underway. The other is called the APO Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)"... "<i>Galactic archaeologists</i> are just beginning to appreciate that studying the Milky Way is like studying 1,000 galaxies, because that many smaller objects have combined to build up the larger body."<br><br>MY ITALICS <br><br>Dr. Leland Gilsen<br>
