In Our Case, Finding A Lucy Is

As An Undergraduate, I Had An Opportunity To Go On A Number Of Archeological Digs. So I Had Experience Excavating, Digging Up Remains Of Ancient Indian Villages In The Midwest And In The Southwest.

Normally, We Are Happy To Find A Fragment Of Jaw, A Few Isolated Teeth, A Bit Of An Arm, A Bit Of A Skull. But To Find Associated Body Parts Is Extremely Rare.
