The popular image of archaeologists as people who simply dig holes is far from accurate. Archaeology embraces much more than digging. Among other things, it includes conservation, analysis, interpretation, education, and record keeping amongst other things. Archaeologists can be found in national agencies (like English Heritage, Cadw or Historic Scotland), in local authorities, national parks, museums, universities, planning consultancies, and in private practice. Archaeology jobs can be classified into five main areas: There fewer opportunities than there are those qualified to apply for them. Moreover, outside the national agencies, local authorities and universities, jobs tend to be short-term and career prospects limited. However, those who are committed and persevere often manage to make a career in archaeology. It is usually reckoned that up to 3000 people are employed as archaelogists in Britain. Many career archaeologists are members of the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA) which exists to validate professional competence and to promote professional standards. Applicants for admission to IFA membership are validated on the basis of their academic and vocational qualifications, practical experience and documented achievements. IFA membership is increasingly preferred by archaeological employers.

A Teacher's Guide To Archaeology: The Sandbox Dig In a sandbox dig, you are teaching your students that archaeology is about digging, What can you tell about the activities the people did at your site? http://www.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/classroom/sandbox.html
Extractions: Many teachers introduce archaeology to their students through a 'sandbox dig'. In a sandbox dig, you are teaching your students that archaeology is about digging, and your students may easily learn that archaeology is only about digging. You may inadvertently be teaching your students to go out on weekends and destroy archaeological sites. In most parts of the world THIS IS ILLEGAL. In fact, David Dose, a sixth grade teacher at Kellogg Middle School in Idaho was prosecuted by the U.S. National Parks Service for damage done to the Crumbling Kiva Ruin in Arizona's Glen Canyon National Park in 1994. Mr. Dose's well-intentioned but damaging field trip caused irreparable damage to a 700 year old archaeological site. Preservation of archaeological sites must be a primary and major part of any classroom instruction on archaeology. When an archaeologist excavates a site, very often the artifacts recovered are one of the least interesting outcomes of the excavation. All archaeological excavations start with a question. This question determines the research strategy - how the site is excavated and what type of information will be recorded. Recording everything would take forever! Archaeologists usually don't have much money, and need to work efficiently to get the answers to their questions as efficiently as possible.

Extractions: About 10 years ago, in the backyard of the Dalton School in New York City, four 9-year-old boys found a piece of charred wood and were puzzled. They knew the wood was from an ancient Greek temple. But they began debating whether it came from a burnt offering in front of the temple or if it was part of the structure destroyed in a fire. Neil Goldberg, the boys' teacher, listened to his students' discussion and smiled. Goldberg, who had created the simulated archaeological dig for the K-12 private school, had burned the piece of scrap wood a few days earlier, then placed it and various other artifacts at different levels of a dirt-filled, 5-feet square box. After excavating and cataloging the items, the boys were expected to come up with plausible explanations for their finds. But Goldberg never imagined that his students might consider the wood to be part of a sacrificial fire - a reasonable explanation for why it was charred. Again, as he has now for 15 years, Goldberg witnessed his young archaeology students learning to think critically. He enjoyed watching the third graders get caught up in the excitement and mystery of uncovering buried items, and then deciphering what the items revealed about people who lived long ago.

Pastfinder's Summer Adventure is a summer-long educational program for children conducted by the Haverhill Historical Society and Buttonwoods Museum in Haverhill, Massachusetts . This series of thematically organized week-long sessions includes activities that relate to current museum exhibits such as Native American history, early settlement of Haverhill, archaeology, agricultural history, farm life, maritime history, period cooking, and appropriate field trips. The program began in 1997 and now offers hands-on activities each week that relate to local history and place that history within a broader regional context. The Museum's executive director Carolyn Singer requested Timelines, Inc. to provide professional assistance and instruction for approximately 16 children in an introduction to archaeology session for the program. The museum staff and the Haverhill Historical Society secured permission from the owners of the Thomas West House (aka"Elmwood") located on Kenoza Avenue in Haverhill. Dan and Luanne Meader are trustees of the Haverhill Historical Society and own and operate Elmwood Antiques at this location. They are planning to improve or enlarge a garden in their yard near Kenoza Avenue and offered their property to the Museum for the archaeology session. The museum accepted their gracious offer and scheduled the week-long archaeology session with Timelines.
Institute Of Archaeology - About Teaching and research activities in the field of archaeology began at the HebrewUniversity in 1926, shortly after its foundation. http://archaeology.huji.ac.il/about/history.html
Extractions: Excavating at Gesher Benot Ya'aqov, 1930s Teaching and research activities in the field of archaeology began at the Hebrew University Israel . The collections of the department were housed in The Museum of Jewish Antiquities, founded thanks to the donation of G.M. Kootcher of South Africa and completed in 1941, and this is also where teaching and research took place. For more than 30 years since its opening, until the Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University was founded in the late 1960s, the Department of Archaeology of the Hebrew University was the only institution in the country in which teaching and research in archaeology took place. Consequently, this is the birthplace of Israeli archaeology. The first teachers were E.L. Sukenik (ancient synagogues, the Dead Sea scrolls) and E.L. Mayer (Islamic archaeology). In the following years they were joined by N. Avigad (archaeology of the First and Second Temple periods), M. Avi-Yonah (classical archaeology), Y. Aharoni (archaeology and historical geography), M. Stekelis (prehistoric archaeology) and Y. Yadin (archaeology of Israel and the ancient Near East). These are indeed the founding fathers of Israeli archaeology: anyone currently active in the field in this country is a first- or second-generation student of these scholars.

Professional archaeologists work for universities, colleges, museums, the federal government, state governments, in private companies, and as consultants. They teach, conduct field investigations, analyze artifacts and sites, and publish the results of their research. The minimal educational requirement to work as a field archaeologist is a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major in anthropology or archaeology and previous field experience (usually obtained by spending a summer in an archaeological field school or participating as a volunteer). While this is sufficient to work on an archaeological field crew, it is not sufficient to move into supervisory roles. Supervisory positions require a graduate degree, either an M.A./M.S. or a Ph.D.

Applied research usually is designed to produce information that will enable people to make better decisions or manage their affairs more effectively. Interviews and surveys are widely used to collect facts, opinions, or other information. Information collection takes many forms, including living and working among the population being studied; performing field investigations; analyzing historical records and documents; experimenting with human or animal subjects in a laboratory; administering standardized tests and questionnaires; and preparing and interpreting maps and computer graphics. The work of specialists in social science varies greatly, although specialists in one field may find that their research overlaps work being conducted in another discipline.

Extractions: During the summer of 1996 a project to differentiate microwear patterns on stone tools was undertaken. This data, now, analyzed and documented was used as an aid in blind tests and Evie site stone flake tool analysis. Stone tool analysis through microscopic and macroscopic evaluation can be a useful tool in functional analysis. The possible function of the object can be sought from traces of wear on the equipment if its shape alone does not indicate its use. This analysis on replica stone flake tools and actual artifacts can give insight into possible tool function and spatial patterning on the Evie site.
