Every year，many people offer to find or document remains of lost societies and communities.These efforts take place across the world.For example，F(xiàn)orest Service experts and volunteers are working in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. They are looking for information about prehistoric and historic settlements of native Californians.
This kind of work interests theological（神學(xué)的） Professor Steven Ortiz in Fort Worth，Taxas.Every other year，he leads an archeological dig （考古挖掘） in Israel.The dig is at Tel Gezer，halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.Professor Ortiz directs the activities at Tel Gezer with Samuel Wolff，an Israeli archeologist.
The city is linked to King Solomon，who appears in the writings of Judaism，Christianity and Islam.The experts，students and volunteers are hoping to learn more about the ancient city of Gezer.Volunteers must pay for their transportation and children may take part if they are with a parent.
Volunteers will face many challenges.The work takes time，patience and often muscle strength.Besides，the ground may be hard and the sun may be hot.The youngest volunteer on the team is Steven Ortiz's ten-year-old son.
"For some，the dig is a religious pilgrimage （朝圣之旅）.Some just value ancient history，and they want to be a part of uncovering it.I think we attract people who think they want a cross-cultural experience.They want to do something meaningful.They want to get their hands dirty.And they want to have a fun experience in a foreign country." Said Steven.
Volunteering for the archaeological dig provides all those things，and more. " You are helping science.You are helping history.But on weekends，especially for small children，they can have fun，travel in the country and see sights they do not normally see."
