Charleston in South Carolina. Taylor also holds a B.A. in

“What a great way to thoroughly experience an archaeological dig
without leaving the US or having a degree in archaeology! I met the
most interesting people from all over who had the same excitement as I
do for history.”
—Dollianna VanFossen, OH
“I enjoy the camaraderie with other program participants, the
hands on (and hands dirty!) aspect of the work, and the easy going
attitude of the archaeology team. They really make you feel like part
of the family.”
—Greg Bevie, MI
“I come for the sharing of knowledge by the staff, the friendly
atmosphere, and to be immersed in early American history!”
—D. Maupin, KY
