Is Archaeologist dangerous

Answer 1

As a post grad student of Archaeology and someone who has spent several years doing casual yet constant field work, I would have to say archaeology would be considered a relatively safe job.

This depends on where and when you work. As we work in all environments from out back Australia to the Mexican Jungle. I have a teacher who was once kidnapped in South America by local towns folk as they did not understand he was a professor of archaeology, they thought he was a thief :)

Answer 2

Archaeology is not inherently dangerous, but like any fieldwork, there can be risks associated with working in different environments. Common hazards can include animal encounters, extreme weather conditions, physical exertion, and cultural or political instabilities in certain regions. Safety protocols and risk assessments are typically implemented to ensure the well-being of archaeologists during their research.
