Faithful reader Grace writes:
I have a BA and an MA in Anthropology, and I worked from 1980 through 1996 in the field as a technician, supervisor, and field director for several organizations. Upon leaving the field, I became a stay-at-home mother and caretaker of my 95 year old aunt, and now with my daughter in school full time, I would like to get back into archaeology.
Obviously, some things have changed, primarily the use of computers since I left. What sort of applicable computer skills do I need to develop to become employable again? Are there trends in survey or field work that have occurred since I left?
Well, Grace, archaeological excavation and survey techniques have changed with the common use of technologies in the field. This gallery is an introduction to some of the changes brought about in the last decade or so.
