Social Scientist!

An archaelogists is someone who studies people and what they did in the past from the things that they left behind. Archaelogists might study early Native Americans, early European Settlers, such as old factory buildings. Archaelogists can dig up artifacts pretty much anywhere.

An archaelogists normally finds artifacts such as dinosaurs bones, mummies,ancient jewellery and metals. Archaelogists usually find artifacts by excavating materials in 10 by 10 foot squares. The excavating process is done carefully to avoid destroying the buried artifacts. As discoveries are made, arcaeologists catalog all findings and to make a report of their findings later.


Arcaeologists job can be fairly dirty and a difficult job. It involves a lot of diggings. Many digging are done in hot weather locations without axcess to bathroom or even shower.
