What Are the Different Archaeology Jobs?
There are a number of different archaeology jobs, that is, jobs that are done to carry out an archaeological investigation. Some of these jobs are performed by archaeologists, but others are performed by people with a variety of other types of professional training—because other fields, such as classics and anthropology overlap with archaeology—or none at all.

One type of archaeology job is as an instructor or faculty member who provides instruction in archaeology at an institution of higher education, whether a community college, a college or a university. An archaeology professor might instruct undergraduates, graduate students, or both, and might be employed by a variety of departments besides archaeology, including anthropology, art history, classics, history, and theology. Often, academic archaeology jobs are for nine months, and the archaeologist may spend the summer in other pursuits.
