Introduction

Welcome archaeologists!  Congratulations on your new job!  You have just been hired to excavate a recently discovered archaeological site and present your findings about the mummies at a major Egyptology convention.

Your plane for Egypt leaves in 10 days.  Unfortunately, you stretched the truth a little bit during your job interview...

Rather than having 15 years of experience...you have none...

Therefore, before you get to the dig, you are going to need to bone up on exactly what an archaeologist does and find out all you can about Egyptian mummies.  Your reputation is on the line.  You're going to learn a lot in a small amount of time if you are to have any chance of having a successful excavation and a successful presentation at the Egyptology convention. 

Good luck, and get digging!
