- A short careers film introducing the exciting career of a professional archaeologist. Shot on location with working archaeologists across South Jordan, this video gives lots of useful information and a advice on for school leavers considering studying archaeology at university. This video was shot as part of the INEA Project at Bournemouth University in the UK. It was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
After years of wanting to be an Archaeologist I have been accepted into a bachlors of science in Archeology program!!!
Congratulations! It is my dream aswell
Thats great congrats!0
Congrats, best career choice
Congratulations! Best of luck!
Congratulations 🎉
Plus if you're elsewhere in the world you can ignore your annoying relatives
lol epic
Yup absolutely true
So mean
Lmfao! Maybe true. 😅
Absolutely true mom
As a post graduate student of Archaeology I have realized that to become an archaeologist you should must have some knowledge on history,anthropology,geography,geology,paleontology,mapping,surveying,art and drawing skills,biological sciences,environmental science,mathematics or quantitative techniques and today GIS and Remote sensing technology and other subjects from earth science can help you to understand the whole process..on the other hand knowledge of physics and chemistry is plus point for you........it is not necessary that you should have all the background of those subjects but you can developed the knowledge yourself.......adventure spirit and curious mind also help you to become and Archaeologist .........Archaeology is very broad subject which covers many aspects from other branches.....if you have a desire to become an archaeologist you can do it......any one can become and Archaeologist if you have dream for it...best of luck and go ahead ....
hi dude..I want to become an archaeologist..I did degree..now what is the process
sai krishna In which subject you had completed your degree ? Its depend on different universities where they require specific qualifications for Archaeology....they require specialization on some certain subjects like anthropology or history to study Archaeology....if your from science background it is great plus point for you.....so if your among anthropology or history background then you are qualified for Master in Archaeology....some other universities provide open categories for Archaeology....You can contact those universities where you want to get your Archaeology degree..Basically after doing graduation you are eligible for Master in Archaeology..But after all you have some basic knowledge all subjects which I had mentioned on my previous post...Go ahead and best of luck...
+ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ I did my degree in astrophysics buddy thank u for reply
sai krishna my pleasure bro...your always welcome😊
pulse point? Meaning its a necessity?
I'm a russian high school student, and to be an archaeologist was my dreamsince my childhood. I read hundreds of books about ancient Egypt, Greece and etc. I was told that it's not possible for me to become one, because in Russia it's a very badly paid job, so I forgot about this idea for a number of years. I didn't study history in school, because I thought I wouldn't need that.
One day, I was cleaning up my room and I found my favourite book about Egypt from my childhood. I spent the entire evening reading the book later that day.
I realised, I don't want ANY other job than this.
Now I'm studying history as hard as I can from the beginning and I hope I'll be successfully passing the exams this May.
Then, I will have some time in 10th and 11th grades before going to the Uni.
But as I mentioned earlier, in russia it's a poor paid job (492 dollars per month), so I'm planning to study abroad. I've been studying English language since 4th grade, and it's obvious I'm not perfect at it, so it'll be challenging for me.
But now I know, I'm NOT going to give up this time. I'm NOT going to give up on my dreams.
If this is your dream job too - please don't give up. No matter how hard it would be to become one.
I'll leave it here as a promise to my future self!
Ооо, я тоже из России и меня невероятно увлекает эта профессия! у тебя все получится
@@allllreut спасибо огромное!
It's a badly paid job everywhere for the education you have, but if you love it by all means go for it
Don't give up. I always wanted to be a archeologis. I'm a bricklayer but I don't enjoy it.
I'm 25.I will start this year in university to study History and Archaeology :)
This is my dream job I love to learn about the past human bones and fossils
Go for it. Let nothing stop you :)
are you now an archaeologist
You could study about it online. Archeology/history are pretty useless passions.
@@karimaljammal4221 Archeology and history isn't always useless, its not only entertaining to learn about our past but also important. Also stop being an asshole, you went to a video about things to guide people who want to be an archeologist, so why did you even watch this?
Mee also... Keep going...
I love going to new places, meeting people from different places, and learning about history. I love treasure hunts and seeing actual historical things. Thinking about how people lived, their political systems, ideologies, and technologies is amazing. I even think about how people in the future will remember the US. I think I would like that job.
So you are archeology???
Same. I’ve been thinking about what career I want to pursue when i’m older. I’ve always really liked history, learning about different cultures, and traveling. I really hope when I’m older i’ll be able to pursue a career in archeology.
@@ziko2348 I am archeology!?!?!?!?
For those interested in Archaeology, I have some tips: you need to make sure you're an outdoors/roughing it type of person. I started volunteering/working in high school for the YCC (youth conservation corps), we would build trails with picks and shovels, haul rocks to build rock walls, dig urban gardens, honestly very similar tools and work ethics you use in Archaeology. You work in remote areas generally. I then started mentoring with a Cultural Resource Management (CRM) firm in high school. From there, I got my undergrad in Archaeology and at the same time worked in the same firm's lab while taking classes. You are required to take a field school before getting a secure job in Archaeology, so I did a two week field school in Belize...and then did three other field schools after that. Local field schools are cheaper compared to exotic ones. I decided to go for my Master's in Archaeology, and through that decided I was ready to be an archaeologist for the federal government compared to working in academics/museums (think stereotype Archaeology, what you see in this video), or working in CRM work/private companies, which account for a good 60% of jobs in Archaeology. Fields related to Archaeology include cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, museum studies, and also hard sciences such as geology, geography and ecology. Technology expertise that's used in Archaeology includes GIS/mapping software, photogrammetry, ground penetrating radar, drones, radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, and a whole lot more. Hope this helps, Feel free to message me if you have any questions. :)
Your comment is a godsend, thank you :)
/A young woman trying to figure out what to make of her future
Could you get into assisting in archeological projects by having a Geography degree then? My school doesn’t have archeology degree and I don’t want to go for a master’s or doctorate needed for archeology, but I like being outside part of the time and inside part of the time.
Im currently working on getting enrolled in college but I was wondering if you would have any idea on ways to gain more knowledge and experience in the meantime. Thanks and best of luck with your archaeology work 😊
@@someshittomakeyouhappy with your age you might be able to find internships which will get you a step in the right path most colleges offer internship opportunities with whichever degree/course you want. it isn't the best info but i hope you take it as it is!
Can I pursue it taking ba or I have to take science only?
Honestly nearly cried at this video when they mentioned anyone from any background can do this, everyone discouraged me because of me doing art as my college diploma but I’ve been accepted into my top choice in archaeology at uni. Hoping I get accepted fully cos this is my dream
bro arts is the best stream you see in science everyone is trying to be an engieneer and doctor so the will probably sit in office doin some random crap same in commerce but if you select arts yo can prove your skill to world
I hope everything works out
Please, reconsider other options. I have many degrees in Anthropology and it’s been really hard getting a job. I’m working somewhere retail because of how bad it is. Please, consider another option before committing
Archeology is the job for me I love history and I like working in small groups. Plus if you have a theory on human history you have all the equipment (maybe not money) at your finger prints to prove it wrong or right.
same
I'm the complete opposite lol
Austin Hunter go for it, I kept putting it off and now I am an old woman who watches all these guys get the fun...
Austin Hunter I love archaeology and history etc
hey man how to get a job for indian student
This convinced me to pursue archaeology when I get back to college. I was torn between history and geo-science, archaeology is perfect :D
I’m 32 and have always struggled in finding my passion. I’ve dove into cosmetology, security, retail, military(which I am so glad I did). But I’ve always found myself fascinated with history and exploring the unknown. Ugh, I wish I was younger so I can start fresh in this field. Who knows where I would have been today.
It's never too late! If something is calling for you, you should listen!
Ur only 32?? Get on it before ur 40
What are you doing now? You can still get ib
I'm about to start study next year at 33
I've been told the average age at the uni for archeology is like 28
I've met quite a few archaeologists that started in their 40's
Never too old mate
Im almost 10 years younger than you but i can tell you with confidence that you are never too young to start. Passion and ideas are not limited to age, don’t put a limit on yourself !!
This is so inspiring even though I'm not an archaeologist. The storytelling, cinematography, editing - everything is on point.
I didn't choose to become an archeologist, but I've become one, finding Native American artifacts in my own backyard. 🗿
🎉
I have been wanting to talk to an archeologist for about 25 years.
I found something in south Texas yrs ago, and I thought it was exciting.
While building a road, a cut had been bulldozed through a small hill.
It was white in color. On close examination I found an 8" layer of limestone complete with millions of normal size snail shells (fossils) imbedded in the rock.
Directly below this layer was another. This was maybe 6 inches thick and made up of nothing more than millions more snail shells. These were not formed into any rock but what you might call "free standing".
Had it not been for another 5or 6 " layer of limestone sandwiching these from below, I wouldn't have thought that layer of shells had been there any great amount of time.
Not exactly like finding a mummy or an Aztec burial chamber but it works for me.
I really do just love history. It amazes me. In the future, I want to go to get a masters degree in archeology, and get a job as an archeologist.
Hello, genuine question: how did it go?
Was on a dig the last month, we found some amazing pottery fragments here in Africa.
how hard would it be to get a job
+Kishun Barker No one does Archaeology for the money ;P
Seedeng Jawn when did I say anything about money
Seedeng Jawn thanks
Kishun Barker Earthwatch org for holiday/ expeditions.
I wanna be an archaeologist. I don’t care what I have to do. That’s what I wanna do with my life. I love history but I don’t wanna be a teacher. I don’t wanna be stuck behind a desk.
I'm looking to do my first field school coming up this year and watching these videos just gets me so excited and calms my nerves! Great video!
as a high school student
how can a student get prepare for this career? what subject do u need to master and be an expert on?
they normally ask for history tests
and then you normally have field work practices
thank you ☺
Evelin Mariel history art geography map and much more
Hey im also a high school student who is interested in being an archeologist any tips on what classes you think i should take ?
I have a BA in anthropology in the archaeology sub discipline and also was certified in ArcGis. I got to work as an archaeologist for five years, I was very lucky to have that opportunity. The bottom line is unless you intend to get a Phd in anthropology, it is very unlikely that you will be able to make a living at it. I was in my mid 50s and retired and didn't need to worry about making a living. I pursued archaeology just for the fun of it. So my advice is that unless you are independently wealthy, choose another career path.
EXACTLY. I have a BA and nobody will give me a chance. I studied for over a decade and got experience. It’s not easy and I’m thinking of another career path right now. It’s frustrating
I'm going to be a college freshman with a major in International Studies and minor in business. When I graduate I plan to join the Peace Corps. As of now I'm trying to find an archaeology/anthropology camp to enroll in but I'm having such a tough time financially. Watching videos like this are definitely keeping me motivated!!
Deja Keith meanwhile I’m down in highschool regretting every subject I spent the last 5 years studying. Only to now decide to be an archeologist.
@@Slam_24 believe me, if you're only in high school it's not too late to find the path you want to walk down
@@Slam_24 Do all your classes in high school really matter that much? Im in 8th grade and Archaeology seems to be the topic that I most want to do right now. But theres still a huge possibility that I might change my mind.
Currently studying archaeology so I get that chance to say “that belongs in a museum” at some point in my professional career
I love History, learning about human history and cultures, travel, and just exploration in general. I am, unfortunately allergic to the Sun (I'm not kidding. I get sick when I'm in the Sun for an extended period of time). Are there ever any exhibitions in less harsh environments l, such as Europe. Or even harsher artic areas such as Scandinavia, Russia, or Northern Canada? If not are there any similar jobs that may be better suited for me?
Same.
+Emily Centa I'm sure there are plenty of areas/regions that are looking for archaeologists. Anywhere that has been in contact with humans is a suitable candidate for an archaeological team. A little research and you may find what you are looking for!
Scandinavia! Lots of cool Viking treasures
emily centa there are a lot of underwater sites being discovered these days. Water levels used to be lower. Look up Doggerland for example but there are deeper sites than that. You would be covered by a wetsuit and underwater while not being so close to the equator (depending on which site). And there are vast cave systems that have relics in them as well as the relics of an ancient civilization having built it’s home and other infrastructure into the wall. You would be underground and pretty safe. Also, there is probably a lot pf work you can do in an office such as cleaning up finds, restoring them, figuring out what they were used for and setting up exhibits inside of a museum.
Also desk jobs
This is a dream of mine. I strive to make being an archeologist a reality in my life.
Ever since as a kid I loved to go with my school to beaches to find fossil's it fascinated me because it would tell the history of our planet and being archaeologists would actually be a hobby for me as I love to adventure and dig/build.
I want to become an archeologist. I love archeology
Go for it! :)
Ever since I was in third grade I knew I wanted to do this, guess I gotta give thanks to the Egyptian Lego magazine that featured a mummy! I would rather go to the museum on my birthday instead of other things lol
Ever sense I was 6 I have loved history. But only recently did I realize that I can do something with it. I go to archeology camp this summer and couldn't be happier
This is great, I love, history, culture, countries, biology, geography and traveling
Archaeology is a very interesting career/passion. You get to learn the past and the cultures and everything. And it fascinates me, because of anime 😭😭 It caught my interest and I think its so cool, I love learning about the past, other cultures and everything but I don't think the 'interest' I have right now will last. But I hope it will because I want to travel the world, not for vacation but for my passion and for discoveries. 😭😭
anime?
Dude I am here because of One Piece too :)).Nico Robin made me interested in this.
How about now?
Anime..?
which anime?
I'm in the military right now, but I want to do this whenever I get out.
I’m in my final year of highschool and have mainly studied 20th Century History, a range of English subjects and Media.
I have now become obsessed with Archaeology and it has always been an interest in the back of my mind since I was a kid.
I suck at Math and have no experience in geography, biology or ancient history throughout school. But I have always self taught myself ancient history in a way. I also love learning languages. I REALLY need advice because it is now my greatest ambition. Have I doomed myself or do I still have a chance?
*Little rant- I think it’s silly some people end of studying a certain field throughout school only to graduate with no clue of a dream career. Then when they figure out their ambition the career usually requires experience and grades for that career from school!
Not everyone can find that little spark so early!
History, archaeology and languages? You could become an Egyptologist/Assyriologist.
@Fatihah Alim Egyptology is basically the studies of all thing Ancient Egypt-related: history, language(s) and scripts, literature, archaeology, geography, religion, architecture, art.... from the first people who settled in Egypt until the Arab conquest in 681 A.D.
Assyriology is the study of the Ancient Near East - Akkadians, Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, possible also Hittites. But it's more philological, at least in Germany. Still, there is a special branch of archaeology that focuses on the more archaeological part of the Ancient Near East.
@Fatihah Alim You're welcome. Good luck!
When I was 9 I saw the pyramids of Egypt, King Tut, *almost* all the castles in England, and I got really interested. I love archeology :D
Name goes here you have no idea how lucky you are.
I'm 20 years old and I have been obsessed with ancient Egypt for 11 years and I still haven't been there.
Albert Muriithi well save up then mate!
After finding a cool looking rock in school fields, I felt like an archeologist finding something incredible
Archaeology gang where u at?
Iam a 15 year old girl and to become an archaeologist but iam afraid I have to study alot , but iam sure I've never give up😁
even through it's kind of a drag to watch any educational video (all except for, of course, Bill Nye that is) this one grabbed my attention and I enjoyed it.
I just want to become Indiana Jones.
Me too🤣🤣
Me too lol 😂
I will be the next indiana jones lol
Aren't we all lmao
I will
Is anyone here cause of people like Indiana jones or Nathan drake no just me ok

I really want to visit the ancient Mayan temples in mexico. I know there's a lot that hasn't been discovered there.
I was just in Mexico a week ago and I got to see the Mayan temples and it was amazing
+Tanner Newton ever since I was in 7th grade when I first learned about the aztecs I've always wanted to visit the temples in mexico. You're very lucky :)
I was there, it is amazing. I highly recommend going. if you do though, be prepared, as it is very very hot.
I really want to visit Egypt and everywhere I want to be the person who finds cleopatra
I have already been to 15 Mayan archeological sites in Mexico and Guatemala 😁😁😁
I'm doing Anthropology at my local community college, but I'd love to go to Charles University in Prague after and start on Archeology. Is this a good idea? Local US colleges are expensive.
I love history since childhood. I want to become an archaelogist. I'm learning new languages, new cultures at home. I'm trying my best to do everything possible. Its just that I'm confused Coz there are many things.
Same here. If u get any success share the story here.
@@dominicrozario2165 hey, I have currently been studying Ancient indian culture and history in St Xavier's College for Master's degree.
@@riyadoshi6149 omg I'm so proud of you. Go for it!
@@margaretsvosklitsatelnymznacom thank you 😊
Fantastic insight!
this is exactly what i want my life to be
i've wanted to be an archeologist since i was 8, after reading about ötzi the iceman in a donald duck magazine. 10 years later i'm very much struggling with school, since i had to quit temporarily for medical reasons so i've missed a lot. i tried to go to school again recently but quit again pretty soon, i just haven't got everything sorted out yet. _but_ by complete chance i saw my biology teacher, who struck up a conversation with me. she said how she missed me in her class, i told her why i quit etc. i then explained i wanted to be an archeologist and what paths i'd need to take to get there. and she told me that she knew i could do it, that she could see i was definitely smart enough by the way i answered test questions. that after 12 years of teaching she could see what a student could (for sure) achieve. and it just meant so so much to me. people around me, including family, have said to just do something 'easier' and give up on my dream. but her saying that legitimately almost made me tear up. i know i've got a long way to go, but i'm gonna get there!!
I thought about being an archaeologist when I was 12 at some point but I didn't have much thought about it. I grew out of it somehow.
Since middle school i love history, arts, ancient discoveries but in Indonesia Archaeology major is rare and have a shaky career. After i've graduate high school i took a Fashion major. I have passion on it too but still my fav subject is History of fashion. I have done a lot presentations about ancinet and past fashion style. My fav is Ancient egyptian, byzantinian and rococo.
My biggest question is, how often do you travel to a sight and how often do you get to go home? I am really interested in the major but I am afraid of losing touch with my family.
Nice information thanks!
If anyone here is an archaeologist/ archaeology major, realistically, how hard is it to actually be able to do the ‘fun’ jobs like the one in this video and traveling internationally vs. being stuck at an office or just digging holes forever?
I know I'm 2 years late and I'm not exactly qualified to answer but I'm preparing to do an undergrad archaeology course at uni soon and I've learnt that volunteering is a good place to start! It all depends on what fields you want to go into. The place I'm submitting a volunteering application for offers archives, digital, education and care/conservation. I'd do research on that and then try find volunteering options nearby! I personally think that having volunteering on your CV in a similar field will greatly help! Do a lot of research as well into companies offering work experience as well! The corporate ladder in archaeology goes as follows: a digger (digging around the sites, working in groups etc/basically whats in this video) to a site supervisor and then to a project manager/a managerial role, which will offer the best salary. Its up to you to do research into what these entail! I'd recommend climbing the ladder as high up as possible purely so you can live comfortably, as the beginning salary may be below average where you live :)
I hope this helps!
I really want to do this but I don't feel smart enough to be a valuable asset to whichever archaeological company is out there :((
iP00WN samr
Get a graduate degree. Then it doesn't matter how smart you are. All that matters is the letters behind your name.
McSwagger same bro. I flunked school and now I badly want this career
SAME!!!
If you really want it, toughen up and go get it.
This is definately an option for me when I’m older!
im currently in my year prior to university, ive never been very sure on what to study but i have a grear passion for history and understanding our origins. with geology tho, im fine with it, i get great grades with little study so. ive been wondering what carreer i would like to study, and im very curious on arqueology, it seems to suit me very well. wish me luck on this year and hope for the best grades 🤍
I definitely recommend taking anthropology classes to learn about different fields
I want to be an archaeologist because I'm very interested in the career and, I am still quite young so I have more chances to study for it more.
Yeah. Around 4 months I dig sands in North of Russia and find many cool things. Archeology is best part of my life and I think what everyone who like history must try himself in this!
It's my dream to become an archaeologist. I'm currently in my first year of uni, studying an arts degree with a major in Ancient World Studies. My university doesn't offer a bachelor of archaeology, and I'm considering transferring to a different uni where I can specialise in the field. It's a tricky decision, because I would have to move to a different city and therefore leave friends and family behind, but at the same time I want to take my studies seriously and I know my university is not good for the career path I want to go down. It's a good uni in general, but the classics and archaeology department is severely underfunded and essentially derelict. I don't know what to do!
I really want to do this when I grow up
I want to be a archeologist with an engineer degree later. I've always loved a challenge and exploring while researching.
you should bring back old structures
I wanna be a archaeologist because I love ancient things. Especially Ancient Egypt. And archaeology is cool overall. Like I can discover things from thousands of years ago
Honestly I feel like I was made for this job I love history and love watching history it would be even better going to them in real life it amazes me like Pangea Egypt rome ww2 times from when the first human species were around
It seems really fun to do all this and find things from so many years ago just seems so cool. Figuring out the story and how they lived is equally as cool. But Im only in 8th grade so my viewpoint may change. Im guessing if you want to be an Archaeologist you have to like Social Studies, right? Well, for the past few years Social Studies has been so boring, learning about how the United States was founded and stuff like the Civil War and Industrial Revolution. That stuff seems too boring to me for some reason and its not like finding really old stuff. Things like the Otzi Iceman thing seems so cool and fun to think about. And the Roman Empire and The Pyramids of Egypt and stuff, that is all so awesome. I just need to know more about this type of stuff. But I heard you need to work and groups and stuff, and that doesn't really work out for me. But still Im gonna try it anyway. Have no clue what Im gonna do when I get older but hopefully its not boring!
I want to work for myself and I have a fascination with archeology. This interest started when I first found the show Oak Island. Sure, go on, laugh, because I do too.
"What will they find this season?" says the History Channel.
"More dirt and wood." I say.
Hey, at least it isn't ancient aliens.
"Did these people make something incredible? Did we underestimate their skills? Did aLiEnS dO iT? You won't believe what the ancient alien theorists said this time!"
Really though, this work interests me. I get a good amount of freedom and independency, aside from some teammates I work with and the people I might report my work to. Though this line of work grants you mobility.
I love history. I just wish there was a replacement of the TV series Time Team.
This is my dream job I love it
im really thinking about changing my studies and switching to archeology (im studying SNE now)
missed the lab work i guess anyway really impresive video, i've just finished my studies as archaologist this year
beautiful film , please permit me to use some portion of this film in my private video i.e in a hindi poetry recital ' puratatvavetta ( archaeologist) with acknowledgement to INEA project videos - sharad kokas India ( post graduate in Ancient Indian History Culture and Archaeology)
awesome profession
I would love to do archaeology but my local universities don't offer it. :(
I wanted to be a archeologist since I was 5
very interesting!
This is my dream job
I wish I would of realized I want to be an archeologist before middle age with no collegic education
Being a ug student in history , it is my passion and dream profession , I want to excavate indian mysterious history !!
Can i get the A levels through an apprenticeship?
I’m so interested by this job. I’m only in 6th grade but I still feel like I have to choose what I want to be soon. A vet is my dream job but an archeologist sound really interesting. I go into the woods and I always try to dig things up I’ve found a squirrel head bone a squirrel body bone a raccoon body bone and a rose quartz. Arrow head!
How many years of university/what degree do you need to be an archeologist?
OOOOH YES!!! MY DREAM JOB!!
SolarNight Star yeah me too
I like history but im not good in science,and geography
It's more of a nightmare. Save your money and learn a trade instead.
@@Brian-vo6ip how
@@Brian-vo6ip No, if you're passionate about something no matter what, DO IT.
I love to study archaeology
Nathan drake inspired me into this type of stuff. Thanks Nate.
Lara croft for me these two are the best gaming duo if you put them together :)
I want to do both Paleontology and Archaeology, be a historian on the side, and also draw out my findings. But I cant do math very well which is the down side.
Im really want to be archeologist!😭
Im so interesting when im 10 y.o. in archeologist event.Im now 14 y.o,and start to planning my future to be archeologist,try search best archeolog university,and readings many archeologist book.. hope im can be like them💖😊
They fail to mention there's not much offered jobwise other than survey, and you have to have money to fly around, etc.
I've never been without a job and aside from my very first excavation in Zambia I have never personally paid to fly anywhere
Do archeologists do cool shit like in Indiana Jones and in The Mummy because thats literally one of three reasons why I want to become an archeologist. The second reason is because I want to dig up old findings. The third is for the culture.
Tylan Sparks I would like to think rival companies like to get a bit violent over ancient sights every now and then. :)
No....there’s no Nazis or believed to be dead civilizations that’s gonna chase you...
This proves my point there’s people that want to be an archaeologist because of a fiction and then there’s people that want to be archaeologist because they actually have a passion for history writing geography mapping science and other cultures...
Amazing archaeology
i hope ill get in an archeology university and go to the world to see or discover far more relics and yet still be a gardenist slash bag and shoe lover amen
What do you do with the ooparts?
Can anyone help me..which books I need, to know how to explore archaeological sites?
I’m 16 and my dream job is to be an Archeologist. I told my school about this and they said I shouldn’t be interested in this because I’m too young and I should focus as other jobs. But I’m going to work hard and I’m not going to give up on this dream.
As an Archaeology Student at U. of Oklahoma, I'd suggest that you go to a museum and volunteer, it will give you some aspects on what the Archaeologist does in the lab and ask questions, remember that the only dumb question is the one that is not asked. find out what area interests you (Time Frame:Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, Mississippian, Plains Village, Historical) and (Area: Southeast, Northeast, Great Basin, Pacific, Northwest, Arctic) you get the picture, and read peer reviewed articles concerning your area and time of interest. Now here is my advice when you go to college.
1. Find a University that offers a degree in anthropology (U. of Okla., U. of Fla., U. of Miss., Miss. State, Florida State, U. of Alabama, etc)
2. Once you've selected and accepted into a school, acquaint yourself with fellow archaeology students and professors
3. STUDY, STUDY and STUDY lol idk how much I need to emphasize this, but it is important that you do it.
4. Volunteer to go on digs
5. Intern in an archaeological lab

Same. shame I spent my schooling years trying to find my ambition. Goodluck and work hard. I know that I have to work just as hard if I want to make it.

Mit tens No problem. :)
I don’t want to go to school for archeology because I’m already halfway in my school for nursing and I just can’t give it up, but is there any opportunities to just go along with an archeologist group and help them out?
I'm sure there are a lot of archaeology groups looking for volunteers who'd love to take part as a hobby (if of course you're up for travelling). But make sure you apply for communal digs and not commercial ones
Hi! I´d like to know the intro melody.
I want to be an archeologist because I would love to learn about the past because I’m very Interested in that kind of stuff like what kind of species lived millions of years before that I may not learn that but yea I just started learning more about this today as well as I like to dig. It’s may be hard but yea I’ll ty even if I’m a lAzY bum
Who pays archeologists? Do they work in a nomadic way with various skills? Do they work part time temporary common jobs? And do they get paid for being out on the field?
This is my dream job..😍
I have a degree in Anthropology but it’s definitely not an easy career to get into. This video romanticizes it, which I understand, but it’s been a real hassle getting a job with this degree & I studied for over a decade 😢 Hoping I can one day put my degree to use…
What field are you enrolled in?
I don't mind past history and such, but I've always been more into Astrology. I started when I was 8yrs old.
