A STUDENT'S PERSPECTIVE ON AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION

Click for larger imageSo you think you want to be an archaeologist? The life of an archaeologist may not be all that you think it is: a high-flying adventure with tons of ancient treasure and the reward of exciting, news-making discoveries. The daily life of an archaeologist is not always so glorifying.  Although archaeology is exciting it is also very hard work.

The alarm clock annoyingly buzzes my 4:00am wake-up call for ten minutes before I realize what is going on! I stumble out of bed and get dressed in my work clothes, which I believe were white when I arrived. I slip on my shoes, that are so hard from dust that I feel like I have brown paper bags on my feet. While routinely brushing my teeth at the bathroom sink, still half asleep, I suddenly realize that I was advised not to drink the tap water, then think how much I am going to regret later my forgetfulness later on.
