Step 6: The Expedition Leader
       
A Journey to Maya Country

Introduction

   Well, you did it!  You have successfully completed your first archaeology dig and are ready to share your discoveries with the rest of the world.

   The work was difficult, the hours were long, and your Expedition Leader was very demanding.  Nevertheless, the benefits have more than made up for the hardships.  You are now a seasoned veteran, full of knowledge that will benefit you in your future education and work.

   
You can be proud of what you have done!  Very few students have done so much work or accomplished as much as you have on this expedition.  Who knows, maybe someday you may decide to make archaeology your career choice.

   One final point!  Don't forget to deliver all the required products and reports to me or you won't get credit for your internship.


    Now it's time for you and your team members to pack up your gear, climb back in your jeep, and have a safe journey home.

Thanks for joining us!
