Okay - so you can't exactly be Indiana Jones . . . but you can be a participant in something close to that!
The page above is an example of "field notes" from the excavations of Ur (of the Chaldees - with Abraham) - from 1922 to 1934. Ur is mentioned in the Bible four times in connection with Abraham: Genesis 11:28, 31; 15:7; Nehemiah 9:7.
Researchers working with this material want to crowd-source (share the work!) of transcribing the notes and field research so that this unpublished Biblical Archaeological material can be shared & researched in new ways!
If you've got a few hours - and a little bit of interest - this would give you a true "insider" perspective on the "behind the scenes" work (and it is work) of tracking information from archaeological digs!
