Overview

Lured by the fantasy of swinging over gaping chasms and just about managing to hang on to their fedora, thousands of people every year flock to universities to study archaeology. For some, it is an enjoyable way to satisfy their ambition to get a degree (any degree) before moving on elsewhere. For a tiny number, it is the beginning of a whole life of research and study. For the rest, and for aspiring archaeologists without an academic background, an uncertain future in the heritage sector awaits, typically beginning in the world of commercial archaeology. Commercial archaeology is a beautiful, bewildering world. This is your guidebook which will introduce you to archaeology as a job, not just an academic discipline. This book covers how archaeology functions as a profession, what a field archaeologist does, and how to make yourself appealing to employers. You will learn about site work and the theory, techniques, and methods you will need to understand on your first day as a digger.
