Dig News
August 2011

Last year I went on my first archaeological dig in South America. It was an amazing experience. I had no idea what we might find. As I watched the archaeologists work, I realized how slow and detailed this kind of work could be. It took weeks and even months before we found any clues. Finally, my friend's shovel hit a metal object and made a loud noise. She called for help. I knew this was something big! When we carefully pulled it out of the ground together, we could hardly believe our eyes.
