>Passport in Time, also known as 'PIT', provides opportunities for
>individuals and families to work with professional archaeologists and
>historians on historic preservation projects. Archaeological excavation,
>historic structure restoration, and oral history are just some of the
>possibilities. There is no registration fee or cost for participating. The
>PIT Traveler, announcing the current season's opportunities, is published
>twice a year - in March and September. As a PIT volunteer, you will take
>part in vital environmental and historical research on national forests
>across the nation. Your participation will
>directly contribute to the understanding of the human story in North
>America and to the preservation of the fragile sites that chronicle that
>story. You will share in new discoveries, learn about the science of
>archaeology, and meet many new friends. Jill A. Osborn, National
>Coordinator Passport in Time, U.S. Forest Service
