Dig deep
Despite all the developments in technology that we have witnessed so far, the past still interests us. It is, after all, responsible for the rich sense of history that we all possess and would feel incomplete without. And perhaps this is one reason why archaeology still has an enduring charm. Discovering how our ancient cave-dwelling ancestors gave way to today's laptop-toting executives can be an amazing experience.
So if your holiday plans are a little vague this year, do not feel low. Instead, dig deep in archaeology: your gateway to the past. Interested? Start by hitting http://www.people.memphis.edu/~anthropology/trowel.html. Here you will find the guides on the basic skills you need to be an archaeologist such as shovelling, surveying, mapping and photography.
Catch up with the past
