Sociology - Doing archaeology part time

You can do archaeology part time too. With a history, sociology, or related degree, you could be an assistant on a dig, so it could be a hobby or part time job too. You can find a list of digs around the world at http://archaeology.about.com/od/currentdigs/Archaeology_Digs.htm. Many are done thru schools, so you could try one transfer credit. The organization I dug with, Associates for Biblical Research, has this dig and tour information listed on their website, http://abr.christiananswers.net/home.html.

Would archaeology interest you as a part time hobby or job? Why or why not?

Sociology - archaeology

My archaeology dig was physically demanding for the three and a half weeks I was there, and it was mentally demanding all year for the archaeologists. They spent the rest of the year planning for the next year’s dig, and evaluating and graphing the pottery and other findings to help date various parts of the site. The archaeologists used this data to write their reports and articles to prove Khirbet Nisya was a valid candidate for the biblical city of Ai. Have you ever held a job that was both physically and mentally demanding? Does this kind of work interest you? Why or why not?
