A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ARCHAEOLOGIST (Oct, 2007)

Ever written to Dr. DIG? Well, every day, e-mails arrive asking what she does? How she does it? And what kind of training is necessary? So, here's an issue to answer all these questions and more. We'll don a dive suit and spend a day underwater looking for the state of Georgia's failed colony. Then, it's off by plane to South America to meet and accompany archaeologists testing their theories about the ancients using reed boats on Lake Titiaca. DIG's also planned a great trip to a lab where we'll work alongside those who treat artifacts after they leave their "homes" and begin to tell their tales. And, we can't forget Dr. DIG. She's just waiting to answer your question: just what do I need to do to become an archaeologist.
