Where would an archaeologist work?

Answer 1

Archaeologists work in any area that has been inhabited by humans. In some cases they may be required to "dig" to reach the artifacts, buildings, etc. In other cases they may be exploring an area that is above ground. Archaeologists also work under water, exploring not only sunken ships, but submerged buildings or cities.

While we typically think of archaeologists as working on sites that are many thousands of years old, they may work in sites or towns that were abandoned as recently as 100 or 200 hundred years ago.

Answer 2

An archaeologist could work at archaeological sites, museums, universities, research institutions, or government agencies. They may also work in the field conducting excavations, in the lab analyzing artifacts, or in offices writing reports and publishing findings.

Answer 3

Archaeologists may work for various people including universities, archaeological contractors, government agencies, local authorities, museums or charities.
