Yes ma’am! :D Archaeologist to be specific.


This photo is of the lab where I work. But I have similar photos from the lab at my university. I tend to make a mess no matter what lab I am working in :lol:


Yeah, I love my job :love There is also a biology museum at my university that has an AMAZING skeletal collection :drool

@CSAchook you win for coolest job award! What exactly do you study? Do you have like a specialty?

Ahem well, since you asked, I am a “zooarchaeologist.” I study animal bones found at archaeological sites. And I use the information I gather to understand past environments, people’s diet, hunting methods, religious practices etc. etc. :D Or at least I try to. I am still in school and learning new things all the time :yesss:

I just want to make sure I got it straight...
Is anthropology the study of people/ bones and archaeology the study of artifacts or is it the other way around?

Anthropologists study people. The field of anthropology is made up of four sub-fields: ethnography, linguistics, biological/evolutionary anthropology, and archaeology. Linguist study language, bio/ev anthro focuses on human biology and evolution, ethnologists study the cultures of living people, and archaeologists study ancient “material culture” ie people’s stuff. Bones are a type of stuff. :D Actually bones are the coolest type of stuff :cool: Note that none of these fields include dinosaurs ;)

Paleontologists study dinos, right? And might I add, you have got a job I would absolutely love to have! My dream job was to be an ecologist and study ecosystems and preserve them. (Wetlands specifically.) But not a far cry from breaking down and undestanding the environments that existed prior to the current state! I wish you so much luck in your career! Mainly bc I want to live vicariously through you!
