After mapping cemetery, Lewiston students win national award
04-26-07 - North America — , Idaho
A national archaeology group is honoring three high school students who have spent the last six years mapping old grave sites at a cemetery in this northcentral Idaho town.
"
Ian Coleman, Nathaniel Ebel and Christopher Wagner, all seniors at Lewiston High School, have been given the Society for American Archaeology's Award for Excellence in Public Education.
Using ground-penetrating radar and Global Positioning System technology, the students discovered dozens of tombstones that didn't have remains buried beneath them.
They also found unmarked human remains - including part of a foot bone that was shallowly buried in a nearby city park that was once the original city cemetery.
Ebel says, "That was a needle in a haystack. It was the ultimate project for any class."
They started the project as seventh-graders, and continued it to their senior years. "
