Over the summer in June 2015, Latin teacher Andrew Carroll took his Archaeology Club to Italy to dig up some artifacts from the past. The Archaeology Club is a co-divisional club featuring seniors Rudy Hill and Matt Laroche. They traveled to Chiusi, and Florence to dig up artifacts in trenches.

They started by studying archaeology at various museums and de-backfilling trenches for a week before Friday, June 26, 2015. On this date they began to scratchy away at their dig sites. Before they could start on their own digging expeditions, they had to finish digging out trenches from last year’s excavation.  Digging these trenches proved to be hard work, but Hill persist that they finish the job.

“It was a lot of hard work, but at the same time it was a lot of fun. We learned a lot and it was a experience that I can’t forget,” Hill said.
