Article 1- Excavating Egypt (Newsprint)
             This article tells of a typical working day for an
             archaeologist in Egypt. It tells of an experienced
             archaeologist named, Dr. David O'Connor. He speaks of his
             working site, Abydos, and tells of what he has discovered
             since he started working on the site. In his 30 years of
             working there, he has uncovered 12 wooden boats, each about
             60 feet long encased in 96-foot graves. He has also found
             the remains of an entire settlement covering about 16 acres.
             He annually spends up to $150,000 to pay of his fellow
             archaeologists and his laborers. He does receive funds from
             private institutions and government agencies to help

             Egypt someday though and experience what it is like

             This article tells of artists in the modern day
             performing work on damaged ancient artifacts. It specifies
             on a head statue that was received as a gift by the
             Nelson-Atkins Museum. Scientists noticed some unusual
             features on the statue's head and investigated it to
             discover that somebody had fixed it up before it was given
             to them. They used gamma-radiographs to find that somebody
             had fixed the head's broken neck with metal dowels and
             I found it pretty remarkable that some people may get
             away doing this without anybody knowing of it. It makes me
             wonder if some of the great artifact
