Archaeologist

Archaeologists study human history by examining artefacts, structures, and other physical remains from the past. Their work often involves digging at excavation sites, analysing findings in laboratories, and writing reports about their discoveries. Archaeologists help us understand how people lived, what they believed, and how societies developed over time. In the UK, archaeologists may work on sites ranging from prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge to Roman villas or medieval castles. They often work for universities, museums, local councils, or private companies that carry out archaeological surveys before building developments.
