Excavations is a novel by Kate Myers about four women working at an archaeological site in Greece, which was supposed to have been the home of the ancient Olympic Games before they moved to Olympia. The women all have very different personalities, and at first, they don’t get along, with two of them actively disliking each other, but when they find an artifact that might change history, they must work together against the egotistical, male chauvinist professor who oversees the dig. It is a highly entertaining novel which, according to rumor, is being made into a TV series.
