Archaeology is personal to me because regardless on whether I make it my professional career or not I will always want to do archaeology, as a kid I found it intriguing and important to me because I love discovering things that would make history richer. It’s important to me because I want to know more about the progression of humanity, and learn how the present was inspired from the past. The best thing about this program was having a deeper understanding of archaeology and applying field work by going to labs and learning about tree dating to going camping and doing things like excavating, point provenience, and just having a good time overall and learn new things, and meeting new and interesting people who also had the same love for archaeology.
