1. What jobs are available for archaeologists?

Professional archaeologists work for universities, colleges, museums, the
federal government, state governments, in private companies, and as
consultants. They teach, conduct field investigations, analyze artifacts
and sites, and publish the results of their research. The minimal
educational requirement to work as a field archaeologist is a B.A. or
B.S. degree with a major in anthropology and previous field experience
(usually obtained by spending a summer in an archaeological field school
or participating as a volunteer, see question 5). While this is
sufficient to work on an archaeological field crew, it is not sufficient
to move into supervisory roles. Positions in archaeology with the
potential to move into supervisor positions require a graduate degree
either an M.A./M.S. or a Ph.D.

Academic Positions. Academic institutions in the U.S. can be broadly
divided into three groups: 1) universities (with graduate programs); 2)
colleges (undergraduate programs leading to B.A./B.S. degrees); and 3)
community colleges (two year programs leading to Associates degrees). A
Ph.D. is required for faculty positions at colleges and universities. An
M.A./M.S. is required for community college positions. Faculty teaching
loads vary among these three groups. University faculty teach graduate
courses, upper level undergraduate courses (for anthropology majors), and
introductory level courses. College faculty teach upper level
undergraduate courses and introductory level courses. Community college
faculty teach introductory level courses (and sometimes a few upper level
courses). Requirements to obtain research funds and publish research
results are highest in universities and lower in community colleges.
Laboratory facilities are greater in universities than in community
colleges. Most faculty positions are nine month appointments. During
the summer, academic archaeologists conduct field research funded by
grants or contracts, teach summer school, teach summer field schools, or
work as private consultants. Research funds come from the
archaeologist's school, from federal agencies such as the National
Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and
from private foundations such as the National Geographic Society, Wenner-
Gren, Earthwatch, and others. Within colleges and universities
archaeologists are found in departments of anthropology, art history,
architecture, classics, history, and theology.

Museum Positions. Museums may be connected with a university or
independent. Museum curators conduct research, publish the results, give
public presentations, prepare displays, and conserve the museum
collections. Museum positions require a graduate degree (M.A./M.S. or
Ph.D.). Museum positions are usually full-year appointments.

State and Federal Government Positions. Many archaeologists work for the
federal government. The U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service,
Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have
about 800 archaeologists among them. Many archaeologists also work for
state government agencies. Every state has a State Historic Preservation
Office with one or more archaeologists on staff. In addition, other
archaeologists work in state parks departments, highway departments, and
water resource departments. Some cities also hire archaeologists to
handle local ordinances protecting archaeological sites. Federal and
state laws that protect the environment include protection for important
archaeological sites. As a result the government is involved in managing
archaeological sites on federal and state lands (parks, forests, etc).
Construction projects often require archaeological surveys to locate
prehistoric or historic sites and the excavation of some sites before
construction can begin. Federal and state archaeologists are involved in
making these decisions and supervising the archaeologists who perform the
work. This kind of archaeology is called cultural resources management
(CRM). Most government positions require an M.A. degree.

Private sector archaeologists. Archaeologists also work for firms that
conduct the CRM investigations required by law. They may work for
laboratories or centers within colleges and universities, for engineering
and environmental companies, for companies specializing in archaeological
investigations, or as private consultants. Positions in CRM work require
an M.A. to have a supervisory role. Private sector archaeologists
conduct archaeological surveys to locate prehistoric and historic sites.
They also excavate significant sites prior to their destruction by
construction activities. Private sector archaeologists work in the
field, in the laboratory analyzing the results of their field
investigations, in the office writing reports on those investigations and
preparing proposals to conduct additional work. These organizations also
hire field archaeologists as temporary staff to assist with the field
investigations. Field positions usually require a B.A. degree and
previous field experience in an archaeological field school.

2. What education and training are required to become a professional
archaeologist?

Education and training requirements are different for different kinds of
archaeology. In the U.S. anthropology departments include archaeology as
one of four subdisciplines (the others are physical anthropology, cultural
anthropology, and linguistic anthropology). During the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries, anthropology programs in the U.S. were
established to study American Indian societies, languages, and ruins. As
a result, there are few separate archaeology departments.
Interdisciplinary programs that combine archaeology with various other
fields of study are more common. Students who wish to study ancient or
classical civilizations (including the Near East, Egypt, early
civilizations of the Mediterranean, classical Greece and Rome, and the
early civilizations of India, China, and southeast Asia) are more likely
to pursue their studies in interdisciplinary programs that include
courses in art, architecture, classics, history, ancient and modern
languages, and theology. Students who wish to study the historical
periods (roughly from the fall of Rome to the present) combine history
(including archival and oral history research) with courses in historical
and vernacular architecture, material culture and folklore, and
archaeology.

At the undergraduate level, there is little specialization. A major in
anthropology requires courses in all of the subdisciplines. For students
interested in ancient and classical civilizations, the particular
undergraduate major is not important, but it is advantageous to begin
learning several ancient and modern languages (e.g. Greek, Latin, German,
French). Historical archaeologists usually major in anthropology or
history. An undergraduate degree (B.A./B.S.) is sufficient to work as a
field archaeologist in the U.S. and to perform basic laboratory studies.
Previous experience through participation in an archaeological field
school or as a volunteer is often required. Summer archaeological field
schools provide the best way to learn how to properly excavate and record
archaeological sites and to find out if archaeology is really for you.
Job opportunities outside the U.S. are very limited, but volunteers with
field experience should be welcome almost anywhere.

There are two levels of graduate training in archaeology. The first is
an M.A. or M.S. degree which takes about 1-2 years of course work beyond
the B.A./B.S. degree and a written thesis which presents the results of
original research by the student. Some programs offer a non-thesis M.A.
degree. Unless you are planning to work immediately on a Ph.D. degree,
the preparation of a thesis is an important part of the educational
process. An M.A./M.S. would be enough to direct field crews and is
sufficient for many government positions in archaeology. It is also
sufficient to work in the private sector, to teach in a community
college, and to work for some museums. An M.A./M.S. with a thesis and a
year of field and laboratory experience is the minimum for certification
by the Society of Professional Archeologists. Most foreign governments
will issue excavation permits only to archaeologists with a Ph.D. degree.
This means that opportunities to direct field projects outside the U.S.
are limited to those with a doctoral degree.

The second graduate degree is the Ph.D., which is required to teach in a
college or university or hold a museum curatorship. The Ph.D. degree
requires 2-3 years of courses beyond the M.A. and the successful
preparation and oral defense of a dissertation containing original
research in your chosen specialization within the field of archaeology.
Some graduate programs offer streamlined tracks for students with a B.A.
degree so that they work directly toward a Ph.D. while others require an
M.A. degree first.

3. What college or university should I go to?

The American Anthropological Association publishes annually the "AAA
Guide 1994-1995: A Guide to Departments. A Directory of Members." It
lists most of the graduate and undergraduate anthropology programs in the
U.S. and Canada. Included in the listings are the names and research
interests of all faculty in the department. The guide is published
annually and can be purchased from the American Anthropological
Association, 4350 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 640, Arlington, VA 22203-1621
for $50. You should be able to find a copy at any college or
university library. The AAA guide coverage is less complete for
interdisciplinary programs combining art, architecture, classics,
language, and history to study ancient and classical civilizations or
historical archaeology. Three other guides will be useful in locating
these programs. The "APA Guide to Graduate Programs in the Classics in
the United States and Canada" is available from the American Philological
Association, Dept. of the Classics, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester
MA 01610-2395 for $12. The "Directory of M.A. and Ph.D. Programs in Art
and Art History" is available from the College Art Association, 272
Seventh Ave., New York, NY 10001. Finally, the "Guide to Graduate
Programs in Historical and Underwater Archaeology" is available from the
Society for Historical Archaeology, P. O. Box 30446, Tucson, AZ 85751-0446.
For locating archaeologists, academic programs, museums, and cultural
resources programs, the membership directory of the Society for
American Archaeology can be very helpful. "Archaeologists of the
Americas" is available from the Society for American Archaeology,
900 Second St, NE #12, Washington DC 2002-3557 for $44.95 (for
nonmembers, free for members).
