The author discusses what an archaeologist does. He uses the example of a group of eighth graders from Pender County who went to the abandoned L. H. Skinner shipyard on the Cape Fear River, collected artifacts, measured, examined maps and photographs, read books and newspapers, interviewed old people, inspected a modern shipyard to come up with a history of the abandoned shipyard.
