The Excavation Begins

They've been in the dirt for a week, and have started to

Tolfaccia, Italy

clear the site and dig. Their site are the ruins of a church in the small town of Tolfaccia, Italy. The students seem to be enjoying themselves.

What Lies Under the Dirt?

Every thing old.... and an opportunity for the eager beaver to become an eager archaeologist. That is just what our students are doing in Tolfa, Italy. Our students are learning the specialized techniques used to excavate and examine the unique objects that are pulled from the earth during the dig. They are also enjoying a little sight seeing.
