I really have no interest in getting dirty with an archaeological dig myself, but I'd like to see one. I'm fascinated by them. I don't have any special attachment to one period of history over another--at least not one you'd have to dig for.
I am interested, however, in the Oregon Trail and pioneer activity on the overland route. Eventually I would like to travel a portion of the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon as the first settlers did. If I ever find an archaeological dig on pioneer campsites or settlements, I'll be there. I'm very interested in the dig they did out at Fort Clatsop, since the original replica of Fort Clatsop burnt down and they were finally able to conduct research on the remnants of the original fort. I have been meaning to get out there and see the new replica and the exhibits dealing with the results of the dig--the main exhibit, of course, being the new replica constructed with better input on how the actual Fort Clatsop was built.
