Default UT students digging at the Alamo

the Alamo
LAST UPDATE: 7/24/2006 6:40:35 PM

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Archaeology students are sifting through dirt at the Alamo in search of artifacts that could shed light on the history of the Texas Revolution battle site.

The project by University of Texas at San Antonio students is the first excavation at the former mission in more than 10 years. The students are digging in an area near the Long Barrack that is believed to be unexplored.

I have mixed feelings about this dig.
They have been doing it for awhile but now there gettig close to the front door.

Kind of makes me uneasy too. I love history and all and know this is how we learn but what more are they wanting to get out of that place? Very Iffy for me.
