As Archaeology is such a broad subject which borrows a lot of its theory and methodology from other subjects a lot of subjects would be relevant. Most common combinations would probably include history, social or physical anthropology, geosciences, physics or Biology. However, choose based on what interests you.

What is the study of the human past through artifacts?

The study of the human past through artifacts is called archaeology. Archaeologists excavate and analyze material remains left behind by past societies to understand their culture, behavior, and activities. By studying artifacts, archaeologists can reconstruct and interpret aspects of human history and civilization.


How do you learn more about becoming an archeologist I'm in the ninth grade and homeschooled and I can only find stuff about how to become an archeologist for kids who go to regular school?

Archeology is actually a college major. You would not be formally studying it for credits in home or public school. However, there are several magazines that specialize in archeology. It would be a good idea to subscribe to one or two of these, and start learning some basics now. There are also magazines like National Geographic. They do not specialize in the one subject, but they will have some articles included. Your public library will also have a good deal of information. There are some related links below that may interest you.


How much money does a marine archaeologist make in a year and what degrees and classes do I have to have to get in order to have a job in this profession?

You should take History, Geography, a science and maybe Computer Science, You should do your BS in Archeology then a Ms in Marine Archeology OR You could do your BS in Marine Archeology and a MS in Maritime Archeology. If your BS is in a history-like subject you can do Marine Archeology at Masters level. The salary is usually $30,000 - $100,000 per year, this is (in pounds) £18,500-£61,500.

What is the best campus to study archaeology?

Colleges and UniversitiesThere are many good schools of archaeology, but be aware that very few schools in the states offer a degree in archaeology itself, with archaeology mostly being taught under anthropology- the exception is Boston University, and a few others. Anthropology is certainly important for studying archaeology, but if you are in the states and want your degree in archaeology you will have to consider this or else study abroad in the UK (undergrad is also only 3 years in most of the UK).Your choice will depend on what field of study you are interested in (ie University of Arizona for southwestern indians, pottery, mammoths). Do research on the classes the school offers as well as the research backgrounds of the professors and graduate students. This will help you base your decision to attend a college which holds your interest. You may also choose to go to a local university for your undergraduate degree and to a specific university once you know your speciality. As always, the connections you make with the professors and other students will be important if you want to work in the field.FieldschoolsThere are many field schools that offer certificates in archaeology. A good field school will not have too many students on a project with lots of professional input. They are generally 6 weeks during the summer in various locations that change every season. Asking at a local college about which field schools they recommend is a good place to start. I went to the field school at Pima Community College in Tucson, AZ, USA which offers several different certificates. I feel this school was exceptional because the classes are offered as regular semester and are taught all year. (Because of the weather in the southwest we have a 12-month field season!) I gained extensive knowledge of all aspects from the instruments used during a survey and excavation, methods of excavation, and lab curation and analysis. Much more information that is received in a basic week field school. ---- An archaeologist falls under the umbrella of social scientist. Thus the following from the U.S. Department of Labour.The educational attainment of social scientists is among the highest of all occupations, with most positions requiring a master's or Ph.D. degree. Education and training.Graduates with master's degrees in applied specialties usually are qualified for positions outside of colleges and universities, although requirements vary by field. A Ph.D. degree may be required for higher-level positions. Bachelor's degree holders have limited opportunities and do not qualify for most of the occupations discussed above. A bachelor's degree does, however, provide a suitable background for many different kinds of entry-level jobs in related occupations, such as research assistant, writer, management trainee, or market analyst. Training in statistics and mathematics is essential for many social scientists Geographers, political scientists, and those in other fields increasingly use mathematical and quantitative research methods. The ability to use computers for research purposes is mandatory in most disciplines. Social scientists also must keep up-to date on the latest technological advances that affect their discipline and research. For example, most geographers use GIS technology extensively, and GIS is also becoming more commonly used by archaeologists, sociologists, and other workers. Many social science students also benefit from internships or field experience. Numerous local museums, historical societies, government agencies, non-profit and other organizations offer internships or volunteer research opportunities. Archaeological field schools instruct future anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians in how to excavate, record, and interpret historical sites. Other qualifications.Social scientists need excellent written and oral communication skills to report research findings and to collaborate on research. Successful social scientists also need intellectual curiosity and creativity because they constantly seek new information about people, things, and ideas. The ability to think logically and methodically is also essential to analyze complicated issues, such as the relative merits of various forms of government. Objectivity, an open mind, and systematic work habits are important in all kinds of social science research. Perseverance, too, is often necessary, as when an anthropologist spends years studying artifacts from an ancient civilization before making a final analysis and interpretation. Advancement. Some social scientists advance to top-level research and administrative positions. Advancement often depends on the number and quality of reports that social scientists publish or their ability to design studies. Many social scientists choose to teach in their field, often while pursuing their own research. These workers are usually classified as postsecondary teachers. The minimum requirement for most positions in colleges and universities is a Ph.D. degree. Graduates with a master's degree in a social science may qualify for teaching positions in community colleges. Social science graduates with sufficient education courses can qualify for teaching positions in secondary and elementary schools.

What is a mojor Prophet?

I believe you mean a major prophet. Whether a prophet is "major" or "minor" has to deal with the amount of writing they produced. Major prophets (like Isaiah or Jeremiah) wrote a lot, whereas minor prophets (like Baruch and others) wrote very little. It has nothing to do with how much work or how much good the prophet did.
