Archaeology



When I woke up that morning, I had a totally different view of what this day was going to be like. In the morning, we would visit an archaeological site, and in the afternoon, we would meet a doctor who has been treating people in Fukushima after the natural disaster in 2011. Although I study archaeology and I really love history and old things, I felt a pressure before going there, the pressure to make everyone excited for something that is often viewed as dusty and only for old guys. Luckily, I had nothing to worry about. I was assigned to help things along when nobody wanted to ask questions, but that was totally unnecessary. The people who explained what they were doing and what kind of things they found, were really clear in their explanation. I was afraid that I would be the only one understanding certain things, because of my study, but they really took their time to show different things, explaining things double when it wasn’t clear, and answering our mundane questions. I think that most of us left the site with a happy feeling, like we really learned something. And even though one of the cars fell halfway off the road, I think everyone thought it was a useful experience. It was just simply awesome.
