One of the things I am most interested in learning from this class is a little more about Hamline's history, and the history of the area. I have always been proud that we were the first University in Minnesota but I do not know much more. Digging into the remains of a building that was around 80 years ago is such a literal way to dive into the past. I hope that my background in communication studies can help us look at some of the things we find in a way that might be interesting and thought-provoking for others. Just as I hope to learn to analyze data through an anthropological and archeological perspective as well as other perspectives! I just realized I should probably add more to my post.

I'm a senior communication studies major and art history minor and am taking this class to get one of my "N" credits in the Hamline plan. I didn't really realize what all the class entailed until I got there the first day, but now I am actually pretty excited for this "science" class. I think we will all learn a lot. See you in class!

Anyhow, my name is Amanda Lockwood and this fall I will be a second year here at Hamline. I am majoring in Anthropology and History, both undeclared at the moment. As far as Anthropology goes I have an interest in Archaeology since my tenth grade year in High School when I went to Mexico with my Spanish class. I fell in love with the Mayan and Aztec ruins. All I could think about was all that was out there and how much there was to learn. Since then it has been my dream to be an archaeologist and learn about the past, that I loved so much in a hands on way. This class is particularly important for me to take as I need some kind of lab/field experience in order to continue my Archaeology path. Also, I can't even tell you how interesting it is to be able to excavate something so near and close to home. I have been excited about this since I heard about it and hope to be a part of something memorable in Hamline History. Hello everyone,

Sorry this is a little late; the end of summer gets so busy! I'm really excited for this class. I am a junior art history/studio arts major at Hamline. I'm originally from Superior, WI and grew up along the North and South shores of Lake Superior, so have always loved the culture of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. I look forward to meeting everyone and good luck with the start of classes! -Rayna Hello Everyone!

I am a legal studies major with a minor in Spanish and a paralegal certificate. I am thrilled with the possibility of participating in such an experience with such historical relevance. The fact is that I am a true believe that to know where one is going one must first understand what came before you. The past is a very difficult thing to predict as I've heard. I would like to contribute my dedication and ethic of hard work. Also my understanding of legal history in this state will allow me to research and correlate the legal decisions of our past with our findings; this research will give us a grasp of the search for justice and it's rational at the time. I am very excited to be part of this experience. Hello Everyone,

I am a senior double major in anthropology and environmental studies. I am leaving to work on an excavation in Belize in a week and will spend 4 weeks excavating a classic era Mayan city, and one week sight seeing in Guatamala. I am working to further my archaeological skills and get as much experience as possible. Hopefully I will learn some spiffy new tricks that I can put to use on the Hamline excavation this fall. I will be doing side research in Belize on environmental aspects of the dig, (either soil samples, hydrological features, or botanical analysis) so I may look to further those skills as well.

During the afternoon and nights we will be staying at the Kibbutz where we will have some lectures and discussions of the historical and political life. I hope this experience will be worth while and if anyone has any questions about anything else feel free to ask.

I'm not taking this class, although it sounds like it will be spectacular! I live in the community, just down the block from the site and I am planning on volunteering my time -- despite the infighting. At least I won't have to worry about failing. Hello everyone!

Orphans and starving people try to model their lives after mine, but they can't because I'm too good at stuff. Oranges? I can have oranges whenever I want, I just don't have them because I don't want them. Put that in your field journal. I have never failed at anything in my life!
