In a little more than two months, Lind will be graduating with honors from Washington State University. I might go out and find a job or I might join the Peace Corps. I'm kind of in denial right now. It's changed to a formula now, but it's basically the same. Somewhere in between Lind's freshman and sophomore years, he decided to switch his focus of study from engineering to anthropology.
Anthropology is interesting and deals with humanity at different levels.
Lind's focus inside the anthropology department is archaeology. It is never boring. Lind got a taste of what his future employment would entail when he accompanied WSU anthropology chair and archaeologist Dr. Bill Andrefsky, along with 14 other selected students from all of the country, on an expedition to Southeast Oregon to dig up a pothouse village two years ago. A pothouse is a home Native Americans used to build by digging deep into the earth's surface and then surrounding the hole with some sort of covering. It was last occupied around 1,000 years ago.
