The single most frequent question I get from people is "How do I become an archaeologist?". Over the years I've written several articles on the various aspects of being and becoming an archaeologist, but for some mad reason I've never put them in the same place for easy reference. Till today.

Thank you so much for all of this information. I’m finishing a PhD in organizational leadership and want to move on with my studies to archaeology. Your site gave more information than I knew to ask for.
Thanks.
Good information, but I still believe you need to be born for archaeology…you cannot create one.
It is completely different to be fascinated by archaeology than to actually be an archaeologist.
Well no harm to say “An archaeologist’s life is always in ruins” (pun inteded)
Thank you
but how do you know if you are born for archaeology? what are the signs?
heyy
