Evelyn led the ArchaEological dig in the area where new housing was being developed. She had fought long and hard and had saved this area of ground from being dug up for house foundations. This paved the way for the urgent dig that was going on now. She had waved her right to start her university course for a year in order to do this task. Her boyfriend thought she was nuts and their relationship had caved in, leaving Evelyn free to get on with what she felt was important. In order to continue she needed to find a way to be waged and she found a job serving in a nearby pub. As the work progressed and nothing of import had been found yet, her hopes had almost faded when, to her delight, she uncovered a tiny area of Ancient Roman mosaic. At last! - she could imagine this find being one of the famed discoveries of the decade. She was glad she had stuck to her guns and not been fazed by the obstacles and losses on the way. The experts were called in to see what she had unearthed and they were amazed. The whole area was immediately caged off to prevent disturbance whilst they thought of an appropriate way to record and preserve this find. The local TV channel heard of the find and sent a reporter and camera crew to make a cameo piece on Evelyn, her work and her find.
