An Archaeologist studies the past by analyzing natural and material remains. Archaeologists typically conduct fieldwork, which may involve surveying sites, excavating artifacts and keeping carefully documented records. Once remains are recovered, Archaeologists examine and analyze their findings to gain insight into the evolution, civilization and past ecology. Archaeologists can use their interpretations to reconstruct ancient environments or civilizations. It’s common for Archaeologists to work in tandem with anthropologists and historians to broaden their perspective. In some cases, they might share their expertise via museum exhibits or educational programs.
