Sheffield uni ?? great stuff !! i did work experience there!

[erupt]

Yes, I do. I thoroughly enjoy archaeology, anthropology, political science, and sociology. Knowledge is knowledge, you know?

No, I go to Uni in Bham, but I've taken a year off as I had a baby last march with Quail/Kayl, and I currently live with her in sheffield. Sheffield Uni's archaeology dept mainly focuses on British stuff, which I find utterly tedious.

My older brother is an archaeologist and I'm aspiring to join his line of work one day. :)

I am not going to pretend to be an expert on the subject, but I do have a very big interest in reading about ancient history and ancient civilizations.

well thanks for crushing my dreams.

My brother works in the West. He says most of the digs have been on things that are recent, from the 1800s mostly.

I have a degree in archaeology.

V. G. Childe is a good source, for early Marxist archaeology. Randy McGuire and Bruce Trigger are good recent scholars.

Well it's not like most of the areas covered by the USA have had a long history of sedentry civilizations, thus most archaeology in the US would be from the 1800s onwards. Which I personally find utterly tedious, in the UK, anyway.

Indian Burial sites are sometimes looked at as well as east coast hunting grounds, in one study i looked at Archaeologists investigated troop movements at Custer"s last stand to see if the historical sources were correct in representing the movement in the battle - there is some really varied work taking place in America

I find non-sedentry archaeology veeeeeeery boring, I've read that study too, it was very interesting and an excellent application of modern Archaeological priniciples. Also in the US Archaeology is slightly diffrent than in Europe/the Middle East (unsure about elsewhere). In the US Archaeology is essentially a sub-discipline of Anthropology, which I think reflects upon the nature of American Archaeology, which first began as excavations of Native American sites, whereas in Europe Archaeology is its own seperate discipline, which in many ways is often viewed as providing Historians with new evidence and expanding the knowledge of Human history.

I've primarily studied the Archaeology of the Hellenistic World (my main interests being Greek colonization in Central Asia/India). But I have done some limited work on Anglo-Saxon and Neolithic sites in the UK.

I've been on three digs; A Medieval manor, a Celtic Hillfort with later Medieval hunting lodge built on top, and an excavation of a celtic wooden trackway over wetlands.

I'm strictly amateur, but my main interest in this general subject area is in historical linguistics and anthropology. Of course, archaeology is closely linked with these.

I also got an interest. Evry summer in the areas where i live they tend to do some researche and digging. This summer im planing to ask if i can join and help them after work just for the fun! :)
