Job Description
Archaeologists increase our understanding of the human past by uncovering and protecting remains and artefacts. These are often uncovered on construction sites and archaeologists ensure they are preserved and can be added to the Historic Environment Records. As an archaeologist, youd be involved during project planning. You could conduct initial research and exploratory excavations before construction starts to protect our cultural heritage.
As an archaeologist, you will be responsible for helping to increase understanding of the past. Duties may include using specialist tools to uncover historical sites and find artefacts that are then preserved. You could also be involved in the planning of projects.
The job role of an archaeologist involves the following duties:
- Undertaking field surveys, research and excavations (digs) ahead of construction projects to identify whether heritage assets might be present
- Making records of the structure, fabric and condition of heritage buildings
- Helping to redesign projects to protect heritage assets
- Monitoring and recording excavation works to ensure archaeological finds are preserved
- Assessing the potential impact of proposed developments and planning applications
- Assessing sites using aerial photography and field surveys
- Recording finds using photography, drawings and detailed notes
- Cleaning, identifying and classifying finds in a laboratory
- Undertaking lab analysis, i.e. carbon-dating and sampling
- Producing computer simulations of how artefacts or sites may have once looked
- Preserving and conserving artefacts in museums
- Ensuring culturally important heritage sites and buildings are protected.
