Roanoke students join professor on archeological dig in Egypt

Several Roanoke students are digging for ancient artifacts in Egypt, alongside Art History professor Dr. Leslie Warden, a leader of archeological digs in this part of the world. Warden is one of few Egyptologists in Virginia. In Egypt, she has unearthed pottery and stone tools, which reveal the presence of an ancient industrial zone. During an archeological dig, Warden said she hopes Roanoke students will gain experience in the field and an appreciation for studying small clues of life left behind from ancient civilizations.
