They are also trying to find the slave cemetery.

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting job your hubby has. I don't think there are too many people who can say they love their jobs, but I bet he does.
I think your hubby's job is one that is interesting and rewarding. I wish I could be out on a dig. I am a fan of History and to be there must be something to remember.
ReplyDeleteHe says most days he loves his job. The field school is only for "Summer A". Summer school is divided into two parts. For "Summer B", he back to the classroom.
