I've been to Greece and loved Santorini, however, If I were to be able to go on a dig, I'd choose the area around Prague, CZ as I'm sure there is a lot of history there that's never been uncovered.
The ancient Indus Valley Civilization and lost cities of Mohenjo Daro, or the "Mound of the Dead" and Harappa, which had the world's first sanitation systems. So much history, it gives you goosebumps.
Much as I’d like to travel, I think I would like to do or support a dig led by Indigenous archeologists on the land my white settler great grandparents began farming in Southwest Saskatchewan in 1910, after receiving many incentives from the Canadian state to settle there. I’d like to know more about the (most likely) Lakota and Dakota people who lived on that specific land and some of the history of the land before and I’d like to support the nations whose land it was in repatriating whatever is found and eventually reclaiming the land, too.
this book sounds so great! (and "unlikely group of friends" feels like a cousin to the "quirky groups of people" subgenre we've talked about!) I'd love to do a dig in Ireland--there's got to be all kinds of wild old stuff there, right?
This book sounds so awesome, immediately added to my Goodreads to-read list! If digs in reality are profoundly boring as Kate says, I want to go somewhere where the evenings after work would be fantastic. I'll say Italy - great food, great vibe, and gorgeous scenery.

I would go to Pompeii!
iceland or greenland! they are amazing places and not as scorching hot as most archaeological digs!
Very smart.

I’d love to go on a dig in Israel! So much history
Hi Hannah! Congrats! You won the raffle — can you please email your address to whattoreadif@substack.com? Thanks!
Omg I just gasped!!! Yes!!!!!! Weeeeee!!!!!
Thanks for sharing and offering a giveaway! I love how this brings vibes of Greek mythology.
I would go on a dig in Ireland in a heartbeat, but I would want to schedule one in the western U.S. too. Ah, (theoretical) decisions decisions.
Pompeii! beautiful setting for a dig!
I want to go to Turkey. No, Egypt!

Not original but I have to say Greece. So beautiful and such good food!
I'd loooove to go to Egypt!

So now I'm trying to draw a distinction between the two. There is a difference but I'm having trouble articulating it.
I think it's if they're solving a murder! (Maybe not, I'm just particularly fond of that trope 😉)
I'd want to dig in the American West! Montana, Wyoming...
Dinosaurs?!
Somewhere in Israel!

This is a smart move. Always go where the food is delicious.
