(saa.org) Archaeologists who work these jobs have very different job descriptions, however they’re all putting their archaeology skills to work. Some examples of their job descriptions include research on shipwrecks as an underwater archaeologist, identifying bones while on an archaeological site, creating digital maps of these archaeological sites, preserving artifacts
Archaeology. What is it exactly? The study of material remains of a community or society. Many describe archaeology as a crucial, yet demanding branch of anthropology. However, some say it is worth it and very rewarding, even with the hardships that come with being an archaeologist.

Scotland has an abundance of archaeology all throughout the country and all within different parts of prehistory. Scottish archaeology has a big impact on both the rest of the UK and on the rest of Europe. Although during the beginning of the 20th century, archaeology was seen as nothing more than labour, with the help of the two great men which held ‘the Abercromby chair’ – both with their own contributions to Scottish archaeology as a whole – it soon rocketed into the discipline what we see today
The object of this paper is to analyze the academic integrity and reliability of two web-based archaeological papers. The first paper is “Sea level data archaeology and the Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS)” by Elizabeth Bradshaw, Lesley Rickards, and Thorkil Aarup and the second paper is “As the world warms: rising seas, coastal archaeology, and the erosion of maritime history” by Jon McVey Erlandson. The content of this paper will compare and contrast the validity of the information provided

Neither Indigenous archaeology nor community archaeology has all the answers. Every Indigenous community operates and thinks differently, and that is what makes them unique, just as every archaeologist doesn’t think or view the world the same. There is no real answer on how to create a mutualistic relationship between

He says that “In addition to their basic and fundamental function of providing shelter from natural elements, dwellings are powerful and complex concentrates of human existence… our dwellings reflect and shape our lives” (Moore, 3). He believes that homes are representations of the existence of individual humans as well as their surroundings. Jerry Moore is successful in explaining the importance of home in archaeology throughout history with colorful examples

We see how our ancestors lived and how culture has changed over time as our ancestors adapted to their environments. Archaeology covers all time periods and geographic areas that humans live or have
