Why Work Abroad
Archaeology is a great field for people who love to travel as part of their work. Unless you are fortunate enough to currently live in a city or country that is rich in archaeological sites and opportunities for research, it’s likely your education already laid a groundwork for the kind of travel you’ll be doing as a professional archaeologist. Most graduates from archeology schools have participated in several “dig” opportunities, whether close to home or farther abroad.
“Digs” are the most common reason archaeologists decide to work abroad. Fieldwork, or going to visit and work on a site to help study or preserve the historical objects there, is a necessary part of preserving and studying ancient cultures, and the cornerstone of archeology as a profession. There are opportunities to participate in fieldwork all over the world, but your own personal and professional interest in different cultures and historical perspectives may drive your decision to seek out archaeology jobs abroad.
A good example is to think of an American professional archaeologist who wants to be an expert in Peruvian mummification processes. It would be very hard to gain the knowledge and expertise necessary to develop professionally, without going and “getting your hands dirty” (literally) in Peruvian sites where mummification is being studied.
