Archaeologists

   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.
