Learn Archaeology - Help With A Dig - Underground Railroad

We are launching a project of doing archaeology on space we control in Albany, New York. The archaeology is tied to the story of the Underground Railroad and will involve a week of work with a professional archaeologist supervising. Do you want to help us do this work? We are looking for potential dig participants. There will be instruction around archaeological methods, lunches and two field trips area archaeological resources. People will have to find their own accommodations and dinner. Tools and equipment will be provided. We are asking $800 for the week. Contact us with your name, phone number and address and we will follow up to get you signed up. This is a great opportunity!
