Archaeology is not just ‘digging’, although the excavation of artefacts is important there are many more aspects involved that are all as significant. Archaeology can best be described as the study of extinct human cultures (Woodbury, 2008). There are 3 different fields of archaeologist, these being Field archaeologist, university

There are many ways that an archeological site can be observed, for example, aerial photography such as satellite pictures can be used. Also when carrying out an excavation on a low budget, which is very common in most cases, a low-flying kite can replace the satellite (Roskams, page 43). More recently the more common availability and use of drones could also be used to get live aerial data from above. Many sites are more apparent from above, and New Kinord is a great example as you can see some of the stone circles clearly, see figure 2 below.

Archeologist have been portrayed in a variety of ways throughout their time in hollywood since the 1920s. With a factor of stereotypes that can paint them in a certain light, the fictional piece that outlined my character was Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

The artifacts and features left behind at Fort Tombecbe is archeology because, they provide a visual aid of things that once belonged to a no longer existing culture. Since the people who lived during that time period is no longer alive the remaining on their prosessions can tell use what life may have been like for them.

It is the year 1922 and I am finishing my last year of college. I am majoring in archeology and looking forward to the field project required for graduation. I would have no idea what a major part this project would play in my life until after it occurred. I was assigned to Howard Carter’s team. He worked in Egypt for 31 years before he was hired by Lord Carnarvon in 1907 to work on excavations with him. Everyone in college hopes to get assigned to a team that will make a real earth shattering discovery.

Archaeologists learn about people who lived long ago by looking at things people have left behind and those things are buried. So, people can built new homes and towns over those things. They find those things by excavating. They’re careful because they don’t want to break anything so, they’d use special tools to “find things like clothing, bones, and pottery.” They also find parts of a building. They can find out how these things are and tell how ancient people used to live and also might figure out different things that were used. The archaeologist want to study the 5,000-year-old door because they want to know how things worked or looked back then or when they were created or where they’re from. Also, according to Helmut Schlichtherle, a

As a family archaeologists, our typical day would start off with waking up at 6:30 from our trailer that we have parked next to the digs, eat a banana for breakfast (since we don't have a refrigerator), and go to the digs right away. We are usually at the digs from 7-12 hours a day, at the digs, we will dig, brush, sort, clean, and examine the fossils we find that day. For lunch we normally have peanut butter sandwiches, or canned fruit and chips. After lunch we go into the trailer to log and catalog the things that we found that day and if we find

Reading this article made me realize that there is so much more to archaeology beyond excavating. There are psychological, physical, social, and cultural aspects to it. There were so many barriers or trivial disagreements that seemed to add up and eat away at students. This makes me see Archaeology in a new light that being sociable, or just being able to get along with others also innately helps. Not only is Archaeological fieldwork just the methodology and techniques, but something everyone has to experience to

Indiana Jones Reflection After watching Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark, it is clear that Indiana Jones is not a true archaeologist, but a combination of a grave digger and archeologist. As a result of this portrayal this movie does not do the best job of demonstrating what archaeology really is. This is not to say that Hollywood got everything wrong in regards to archaeology. As a matter of fact, while this movie is highly exaggerated and fictional, it does capture a lot of elements and factual things that does take place in archaeology both in modern times and back in 1938.

The individuals in my text can positively contribute to the world by solving 21st century problems.  Dr. Douglas Owsley and Dr. William Kelso help achieve the answer to the 21st century  problem, Achieving Sustainable lifestyles, which is demonstrated in the book “Written In Bone.” Dr. Douglas is the lead anthropologist and Dr. William is the head Archeologist, both work at the jeffersonian institution.  Their team have certain ways they excavate a grave, for example, they preserved 17th century air by sucking the air out by tubes (pg 79, “Luxury of lead.”).  Or another technique is called Stratigraphy,  which is the study of rock layers. This technique comes in handy when determining when the artifacts were left and what time period. Dr. Douglas

Archaeologists study our human history by examining artifacts that we used, or human or ancient bones they can determine how we used those artifacts and how we evolved they can also help finding new information about older generations of people.

During this summer holiday, I read a translated version of “autobiography of Heinrich Schliemann” translated by Kusuo Seki. I read this book because it was my brother’s recommendation but before reading it I didn't have any background information about Schliemann or about archaeology.

Life would be so different if our family was a family of archaeologist. Things I would do now compared to being an archaeologist, I would do is use my wifi to talk to my friends, but in the middle of nowhere there is no wifi. I would also play my video games but wait there isn't any electricity.

Despite the variety of fields available in Paleontology itself, it is not a common choice for careers based in the field of science in the United States. Trends in paleontology have been compared side-by-side with ones in geochemistry and geophysics,

Typically, archaeologist examine, recover, and preserve evidence of human activity in past cultures. They analyze human remains and artifacts, such as tools, pottery, cave paintings, and ruins of buildings. They connect the information they found about past environment to learn about the history, culture, and traditions of people in earlier age. However, they do more than just dig and look for ancient things. They are also responsible for protecting, managing, and interpreting archaeological sites. They make sure that construction
