Welcome to Birmingham-Southern's “Hilltop Photo of the Week” web page and archives. Each week at this site, we'll feature a photo that depicts some aspect of life on the Hilltop campus, along with brief information about what is taking place in the Photo of the Week.
The college welcomes submissions to be considered for the Hilltop Photo of the Week. Scanned or digital photos can be e-mailed to the Office of Communications at bwagnon@bsc.edu, or photographic prints may be sent through campus mail to Box 549004. Please limit photo submissions to those that depict some aspect of the BSC experience, and be sure to identify what is taking place in the photo, along with location and people involved.

Test excavations—The grassy areas in front of the Stockham Building and Stephens Science Center at Birmingham-Southern were turned into an excavation training site Feb. 5 for students enrolled in the Archaeology 208 spring term course. Dr. Jeanette Runquist, professor of biology (pictured), divided her class into rotating groups of four, as each group practiced troweling, sieving, recording, or mapping. Beside her is Forrest Boughner, a senior history major from Flagstaff, Ariz., as he learns the proper field technique for shoveling and sifting through dirt to search for fossils or other biological matter. Students will have the opportunity to put those skills to use in a real archaeological project at the local Turkey Creek Nature Preserve later in the term.
