Archaeology as a Hobby

 

Some people might prefer to experience the excitement of archaeology but only as a hobby. Being a part-time archaeologist or employing one’s time in archaeology as a serious interest or hobby can be very rewarding. As well as the academic learning about the history of human beings and their cultural civilisations, assisting in the protection of the cultural resources of the archaeological record, and being a part of rediscovering our ancient past, the hobbyist can have a stimulating and entertaining time doing it.
