Finding History

Nora Kelly is an archeologist who works at a prestigious archeological institute. Nora is only an assistant professor and her chances of getting tenure with the school seem slim because she is a field archeologist and she does not enjoy the lab work. Nora is extremely behind in her lab work; therefore, the institute is unhappy with her work thus far. In light of this, Nora realizes she should begin focusing on her lab work, but the discovery of her father's letter has caused Nora to be unable to focus on anything else. Finding historically significant artifacts and intact cities has become a thing of the past in the modern world of archeology because most of the big finds have already been made.
