- Hi, my name is Erin, I'm a senior,
I'm from Minnesota, and I'm
a classical archaeology major
with a Latin and communication minor.
I'm a Chi Omega, I'm an Eta Sigma Phi,
I'm an Adventurers Anonymous.
Being an archaeology major,
Carthage has its huge advantages.
Having a professor that
already has an ongoing
excavation project that's been
going since the early 2000s,
and just the ease of
being able to go to it
and get that experience,
is really helpful in
getting whether a taste
of if you actually wanna
continue to pursue archaeology.
My favorite class I've taken
is the field archaeology
that I've gotten to do.
I've gone on two tours to Omrit
and worked on the digs in Israel,
and I think that really
gave me a taste of my major.
I think archaeology, when you say it,
people assume that you're
always digging in the dirt
and they don't realize
that you have to take
a lot of just classes reading books
and taking language courses,
but the field work is the fun part.
It's where you get to really
put your knowledge to the test.
