Archaeologists work at locating and identifying archaeological sites, palaeontological (dinosaur bones, other fossils), old and abandoned buildings and other remnants of the past. This career involves planning, research, analysis, archaeological excavation and laboratory analysis to help preserve, protect and understand ancient sites and remains. The most rewarding part of being an archaeologist is finding artifacts that have not been seen in hundreds or thousands of years, and preserving them for the future. Join Tyrel to find out more about an in-demand career of exploration and discovery.
