About
An Archaeologist studies human history, especially the culture of
historic and prehistoric people in particular, through discovery and
exploration of ancient art, architectural relics, monuments and other
materials. An Archaeologist undertakes fieldwork, excavation of sites to
seek answers concerning the social habits, customs, religious
practices, living conditions, etc.
An archeologist is an expert on history who gains expertise
through experience with historical documents and artifacts. An archeologist can
assist not only in identifying potential dig locations and the resulting
excavations but also in interpreting any artifacts discovered during
excavation. They then use this information in concert with existing knowledge
and historical data to make discoveries about the artifact's time period.
