Before participating in this internship, I had almost no experience in the field of archeology. I had taken some archeology courses as an undergrad but had never taken part in a dig, fieldwork, or surveyed an area. As cliche as it sounds, Indiana Jones was my childhood hero, and I dreamed of being an archeologist like him. Getting accepted into this program was a dream come true. I couldn't wait to start digging for artifacts. My imagination went wild with all the potential discoveries I would make. I quickly learned that there’s much more to archeology than excavating and digging up artifacts.
