@sathish vn I know what you mean! Your care about history like I do. I lived all my life in Georgia and Florida (Okefenokee). I moved to North Carolina in 2012 in the foothills of the piedmont area were the Catawba Native Americans lived. I have always been interested in Native American history. I recently came across some pottery pieces from the Woodland Period in my backyard. My peek of interest started when my husband was plowing for a small garden. After he finished, I went to check out my his progress and was getting ready to sow when I noticed something odd sticking out of the ground. It was an ARROWHEAD. I was like WOW! So that started "my" point of no return. I began digging all around in our 5 acre backyard lot in very random places. After pissing my husband off with all the ankle breaking holes in precarious locations and almost given up on discovering anything else is when I started finding the WOODLAND POTTERY and its everywhere. I found 5 different types from the same period. I'm donating all the pieces to a museum in hopes that it would educate and maybe be a link that would give some valuable information to the ancestors. I would love to find out more on the history of the land where I found the artifacts. If you know anyone who could give me advice, I will surely appreciate it.

I agree 1000%

I started back in 1964-89 before I quit for a while. But I was still working on cleaning and doing research work on the artifacts. I’m very surprised that you have a good understanding of what it really is like to be an archeologist. So many different fields you can pursue besides. It drives me nuts when people ask me about my guns and do I jump out of airplanes stupid stuff. I spent more time, over the years doing research work in libraries. Than I ever did digging at sights. My favorite thing was the lab work and conservation of artifacts. My last big project was a ten year dig of ancient tombs in China back in 1978-89. I Found a lot of kool stone figures from 12,000B.C. To 500A.D. Most relates to the shaman cultural beliefs and folk lure. I found some amazing stone tools from 12,000 B.C. to 22,000 B.C. Cave paintings very faintly but still shows up. I had a 16” long flint napped blade made of jade. It was buried deep in the back of the cave. Wish I still had most of these pieces long gone. Closed my museum that I owned back in 1992 to much work. I just want to finish up my last theses and get it published one day. Well before, I’m to old to even know what is going on. Ha Ha 😺 The hardest part I found was learning how to put yourself into the past to have a better understanding of what was important to the ancient people. Not your values of what you like nowadays. This was a hard concept for me to teach. One time I had a group of helpers on a dig. I had to make sure they understood that stone artifacts and pottery are very important and don’t waist your time hoping for gold. It’s not very realistic. In China around 8,000 B.C. Let’s say as an example. Jade carved artifacts held great power. gold was of no real value compared. Anthropomorphic carved figures out of jade. Was a way to communicate with the gods or a spell to have the power of a dragon. The belief in these little figures was very powerful back then and still today.

I'm an archaeologist in Germany and it is really interesting to learn about the differences (and similarities) of the archaeological process around the world. Thank you for the video. In Germany you can work as a "helper" in archaeology (both state run and private) even without a degree. But for any position with responsibility you will need a degree, typically at least a masters degree. There is also the option to use a related form of education as a qualifier for a better position in some companies. I have been working next to gold smiths, anthropologists, masons, geologists and so on.

Great to hear you are thinking about doing archaeology. Studying cultures is a lot of fun and it can open your mind to many things. And sure, you can ask me what ever you like and I'll do my best to help. In short however, the answer to your questions is: "It depends". It depends on what town you want to study, what kind of work you want to do after you graduate and of course where your passions are. Academic archaeology requires a lot of work and dedication. I don't think anyone could do that for a subject they're not in love with to begin with. But do make sure to have a look at all the fields that might interest you before making up your mind. Me for example, I started my education with a focus on Classical Archaeology. Mainly because I was not aware of just how many different kinds of archaeology there are. For a number of reasons I changed my focus to Prehistory and I am very glad I did. If there is something you want to know, go ahead and ask. Either here, or on twitter (@wenigeralsb). Happy Holidays

My thesis is very interdisciplinary in that it draws on ideas from heritage studies, history, anthropology and conflict archaeology. On top of this I have a MA in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies and a BA in History. These subjects obviously have very close ties to archaeology, however I have always regretted not pursuing a career as an archaeologist. I've been looking at ways to get out into the field and learn the trade and have recently seen an opportunity for trainee field archaeologists.

I live in the States and became an archaeologist without a degree. Well, I have a degree. In fact I have two. But they are associates degree's in history and paralegal studies. While I was in college I found out about a program called the Veterans Curation Program which was run in a little lab in a shopping center next to the college. Being a veteran and skeptical of every program that panders to veterans after watching friends of mine get screwed over, I did my research on it and found out that it was a legit, federally funded program that aims to teach veterans artifact and archival curation techniques as well as professional artifact photography, resume building and job searching skills, and other various technical skills like database building and management. So I applied, got accepted, really enjoyed the program, got hired on by the archaeology firm that runs it to fill a curation technician contract at a military installation, and was kept on as a full time salaried employee when a university took over the contract. Been here about 3 years now and loving it. We don't really do any digging. We're more focused on reaccessioning all of the previous 150+ projects worth of collections and bringing them up to federal standards and also monitoring all of the sites deemed eligible for entry into the NRHP for looting and damages as well as various bits of community outreach. So most of my field work is running around on atv's and hiking long distances through the forest with some interspersed moments of demonstrating atlatl throwing for children at the local summer camp (which was a blast). But all in all I've really enjoyed my time spent on the job.

In my experience I have never camped, always stayed in a hotel/b&b/rented house. There are some field schools which camp to cut costs but you would know well in advance and could probably choose a different one. Work wise in the UK you are never expected to camp, it was the same for me in Canada. The only reason to camp is if you're working in a really remote location far away from hotel options, but again you'd probaby be able to get work that doesn't involve that.

Not necessarily it more depends on what you want to do and if you have a particular interest in a speciality (osteology, ceramics). Academic archaeologists attached to universities as professors and such will need multiple degrees, commercial/CRM archaeologists don't NEED anything past an undergrad to succeed although people do sometimes have a masters or PhD. Also there is no reason that you can't begin a CRM/commercial archaeology career and go back to school later if you feel you need/want that extra qualification. Trying out a field career first might actually help you decide where you want your career to go. Thanks for watching! And good luck!

(Originally going to be a teacher as a way to work with history but after the pandemic its made me realise I don't want to go into a career because its "safe" but will make me miserable, so I started looking into archaeology since I've always wanted to do it which is when I came across you). I do have a young family but as I was growing up my father worked away basically all the time so I'm used to that lifestyle and my husband is supportive and I'm sure my children will grow up appreciating that I'm doing something I love the way I did with my dad. Especially since its actually easier to stay in touch these days then it was when I was a kid and he was working away. My biggest question is how can I get started? Where should I start? Is it worth holding off a year and getting a masters in archaeology first or can I get that later?

Hi, thanks for the support! You can always volunteer (although you will have to pay) on projects all over the world but you won't be able to run your own projects without a couple degrees and funding, essentially you would need to be a professional archaeologist. Nowadays you can't just go to a country and dig up their heritage without going through the due process of permits, visas and proving you want to do legitimate work not just reasure hunt, this will typically mean having the support of a large organisation like a university, which would again mean being a professional archaeologist. Hopefully you can find a project that needs volunteers to help you get your fix, thanks for watching!

Probably, you'd have to look at the entry requirements for the specific university you want to go to.

Hi, I find your videos very helpful. I am considering getting an online BA in history, and getting involved in archaeology as a profession. I currently have a college diploma in marine mechanics, and work in the marine field doing boat repairs in Ontario, Canada. I have a few questions, if you don't mind: Do you have any predictions as to how the COVID pandemic might effect the prospects for finding work in archaeology in the next few years? Do you think it's possible that I could apply my experience working and living on boats to an archaeology career? Considering the current state of the world, online learning is the best option available to me. Although I am passionate about history, I wonder if a degree more directly aimed at archaeology would be better, or even possible online? Thank you for your time. Great videos!

Hi! I've done videos on a couple of your questions which I've linked below: Impact of COVID-19: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJx4p7SCqc-taco.html Do you need a degree (covers transferrable skills from other professions) kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJlklKmeYtbWZJM.html I've also done videos on how to pick programs/universities and advice on applications. While all universities have moved onto online learning for now and that's just fine, I would recommend if you do online learning to try and find a field school to do to put your learning into practice once it is safe for you to do so. Working and living on boats would lead me to recommend maritime archaeology if you're interested which involves boats and sometimes diving, but you might be looking to leave that behind. Hope this helps, good luck and thanks for watching!

In Canada you need a BA/MA. Except BC, where a BA is sufficient. Some consultants will hire without a dergree however, you are only a labourer. If that is the case, you are worked within an inch of death and treated like garbage. I have encountered some decent archaeologists but the majority were insufferable a-holes. Good videos though - everything is explained very well and leaves no stone unturned.

You would be best just doing a google search for field schools in the area you're interested in. However you likely won't be able to earn money doing this as a job but instead will have to pay to go. Each site will have different application processes so once you find where you want to go you're best to contact them and ask. Thanks for watching!

In the US most programs offer anthropology degrees and then you have an archaeology specialism within it, it's only outside the US do they tend to have them separate. I don't know if it would give you better chances but I don't think it would have too much of an effect. Thanks for watching!

I have something for you

A lot of people seem to think archaeology and history are basically the same thing. They are completely different , to put it simply archaeology is a factual science History is opinion based, yes partly based on archaeological facts , as well as written works, usually copies of copies written centuries after the events, and usually unreliable , depending on what propaganda the new regime writes about thd previous regime, or even more unreliable, so called church history, written centuries after the events and are copies of copies that end up very different to the original works, due to mistakes in translation, interpolation, and blatant lies. Archaeology has nothing to do with opinion or so called ancient written evidence . Archaeology is a fact based science, excavating and recording everything exactly where it came from. As a field archaeologist I knew next to nothing about iron age or Roman Britain, but it never hindered me when excavating a roundhouse or Roman villa . Historical knowledge has nothing to do with the quality of excavating a site . History, is not a science, historians use some evidence archaeologists excavate, but most of all they use written evidence, by unknown sources and who knows how many copies of copies have been written of how much the current works differ from the original. Church history is the most unreliable, its biased and often pure invention. During my 30 years as a field archaeologist I've learned not to trust anything in history books that isn't substantiated by archaeological evidence. Its very frustrating knowing something is wrong yet because it can't be proven, it remains in history books. ...ie, julius Caesar claims to have invaded Britain crossed the Thames and defeated then destroyed the tribal capital. Yet not one single thing supports those ancient claims, archaeologists know it never happened, yet historians continue to have " new evidence ' to support the claims of over 2000 years ago. New evidence being a different idea to others , nothing thats actual ( absolute) proof. It's a good story and historians love a good story. History is not a science, so opinion blinkers historians from reality , the lack of absolute evidence means nothing to historians. His - story. History can be more fun , because its easier to come up with a good story. Whereas archaeology is a science and factual, there is no room for opinion. I could list 100s of stories that have nothing to support them. But its impossible to prove something never happened because nobody digs up a sign saying *This didn't happen *. I love history, especially the area I live, the centre of a powerful tribe called the catuvellauni, then one of the biggest Roman city's in Britain called verulamium. Funding is the biggest problem for archaeologists., the heavy machinery diggers, & geo physics, a team of archaeologists, Soil samples, and other expensive individuals back in the lab plus conservation to stop artifacts falling apart. Historians only need a computer to research and pen to write. I love both but both are very different to each other. Its difficult to properly explain everything, and I'm rubbish at explaining without writing pages and pages. I just wanted to explain both are very different to each other.

I guess the only way you can make a relationship work as an archeologist is to be with another archeologist lol it would be pretty cool having someone who shares your passion though

Cd or cv

A degree with a foundation in science will be of great help in archeology. Without that foundation you'll have difficulty in writing documentation, using math to make basic calculations, you'll lack organizational skills, time management skills that you'll feel totally useless. Without that foundation you'll likely be doing grunt work and lots of manual labor like dumping wheelbarrow loads of dirt away from the excavation site while others do the cool work of discovering antiquities. And for that they can hire local citizens or villagers to do it for minimum wage.

@Inside_Archaeology

3 жыл бұрын

I mean I agree that a science degree can be helpful but I don't think that without it you'd never advance. Most of the maths I've come across are basic arithmetic and geometry. Most university degrees teach you time management and organizational skills, plus an English/History degree will teach you more about historical research and writing, whereas science is much more technical. Everyone starts doing manual labour, degree or not, but no one gets shafted with only dumping wheelbarrows all the time, everyone gets a chance to excavate and discover cool things. Thanks for watching!

If you want to be an archeologist the only requirement is studying archeology. Anyone who has a passion can easily aquire the same education for free. Anyone who has been in the field with the same passion doesn't need to require a degree(receipt) to gauge anothers knowledge. I would much rather hire a person wo a degree as opposed to hiring a person outta college doing it for the $. Degrees are not proof of passion or character, but any person w experience will know.

I'm not trying to be rude but what do you think university/college is if not the study of a particular subject? You may be able to acquire an education on your own by reading but it will be nowhere near as fast as if you went to school where professors guide and teache you. A degree is a helpful way to quickly signal your capabilities/knowledge without having to do a test or prove yourself, something emplyoers very much value and I can say that archaeological employers will hire someone with a degree over someone without. Degrees are definitely proof of passion, especailly if you sink lot o f money and time into getting them, especially in a subject like archaeology where salaries are low. I'm not disagreeing that people can gain knowledge in a subject via self-learning, but I think it's disingenuous to imply that degrees are unecessary or not needed. I can promise that no one in archaeology is in it for the money, degree or not.

@Inside_Archaeology

Broadly the answer is no, you can't be an archaeologist without a background or experience in archaeology, what that background is can be variable, it might be a degree or it might be 5 years of working as an archaeologist. You can get hired by an archaeological company to work on their projects without strictly needing a degree however you couldn't go out and start your own archaeology company and bid for work, or publish, without first having worked or studied as an archaeologist, you simply wouldn't know where to start! Hope that's clearer, thanks for watching!
