Archaeology in conversations
Archaeologist vs. Historians
Generally love to talk about the past with each other. Sharing different kinds of source material for private projects. Thesis subjects are always a safe start
Archaeologist vs. Family members
Little to no interest in your work day. Human remains is a risky subject. But you are consulted for information after news articles.
Archaeologist vs. The public
You’ll either receive every history related question someone has ever wondered about although none of them make sense or people are turned off by everything you tell them (dirt, mud, human remains and no dinosaurs). Also, what d’you mean archaeology is physically demanding?
Archaeologist vs. Older people
Don’t understand the purpose of archaeology but they do ask questions about what the job is actually like, usually followed by some version of “if I ever find something I’ll never inform authorities because it’s so expensive”
Archaeologist vs. Construction workers
Understand the physicality of our job. Don’t understand why walls are important but are familiar with sharing sites with archaeologists. Tend to be interested for a short while.
Archaeologist vs. Middle age desk job worker
Honey how do you get along in life? Is archaeology even a real job?
Archaeologist vs. Kids
Usually ask very good questions because they are genuinely interested and pick out little details.
Archaeologist vs. Another archaeologist
The best conversations we have and the most comfortable we are with them. But oh boy are you sure you want to know about our subjects
(Also thesis subjects are a safe start)
