An Archaeologist studies people and the things they did a long time ago by looking at the things they left behind. They often have to dig things up that have been hidden along time.
Archaeologists normally work on sites. A site is a place where they find old artifacts (these are things made by people a long time ago). Sites are normally out side and the work is physical. They use a pick axe to pick at the rocks and shovels to dig. They use a lot of measuring tools to record where they find things. I like doing physical tasks and would be good at this.
There are lots of people working on a site. You can have geologists helping you working out the soil types and where best to dig. You can have construction workers, they make the land safe for workers. You have people digging some people sifting the dirt for artifacts and also people recording and labeling things found. It takes a lot of team work. I like to work outside and work in a team. This is something i would like to do.
After they find artifacts they go back to their laboratory to study what they have found. Archaeologists are like detectives because they find out how the humans lived in the past.

Hi my name is Sam and my birthday is coming soon. I am from New Zealand and have one sister in 4th grade, two Hamsters named Coke and Junior, a cat named Bella and some fish.
The last three books I have read are... Warriors the Fire and Ice By Erin Hunter, Warriors the Forest of Secrets and Warriors the Rising Storm. All by the same author. All those books are about 4 different clans of cats Wind clan, Shadow clan, River clan and Thunder clan, how they can survive in the woods and try to get along with each other.
The last movie I saw was the Last Air Bender about the four elements: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Long ago there was an Avatar - an air bender who is trying to save the world because the fire nation attacked but before he defeats the fire lord he must master all four elements.
My academic goal is to get good grades! What I need to do is never forget my homework and get organized!
My favorite holiday was when I visited the Gold Coast in Australia. I went to all the theme parks such as Movie World, Sea World and Wet 'n Wild. I was 7 at the time and I went with my Grandmother.
I would describe myself as:
- nice
- sporty
- caring
- friendly
- fun
This is my first blog entry. I hope you enjoy my blog!!!!!!!!!!!
