Faithful reader Toni H writes: "I have recently graduated from a British university, with a Degree in Ancient History and Archaeology. In the last two years I concentrated on Forensic Archaeology. I have a keen interest in this subject and was wondering what the availability of work experience is for this subject in New York City or any across America?"
The best way to find a job in archaeology is to make connections with others who are in your field--in other words, to network. Fortunately, with the Internet it is much easier today to interact with people. I'm guessing that you have just a bachelor's degree rather than a master's, so I don't think that a professional position will be open to you until you complete your advanced degree, but I don't know for sure, so you should contact the Forensic Archaeology groups available and find out what you need to work in this field.
