Where would I begin if I wanted to enter the feild of archeology?


I'm about to be 20 this year and am a freshman in college, working on a higher education. There are many career fields I am interested in right now but I have always had a passion for archeology and I don't know where to begin to get more insight on the subject; looking for information with a regular web search engine doesn't tell much on the matter or maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Is there a certain site to visit or school or something?


Question applies to ages: 18

Safety # of Thumbs Up Received (1)		 Since you're already at college, I'd suggest going to the archeology department's office and scheduling an appointment with the head of the department or one of the professors. Archeology is obviously their passion, so they should be able to tell you more about what schooling you need, and what working in that type of career would be like.

Here is a site that I found when I Googled "archeology study" that might be helpful:
www.museum.state.il.us/ismdepts/anthro/dlcfaq.html

Good luck with your education and career!

At the undergraduate level, studies such as chemistry, physics, geography, geology, anthropology, history, English, and mathematics will help you learn important skills and knowledge that an archeologist will need.

For more information, check out the Society for American Archeology at www.saa.org or the Society for Historical Archeology at www.sha.org.
