A Temporary Archaeologist is a short-term position supporting archaeological projects, often related to cultural resource management (CRM). Responsibilities typically include fieldwork such as surveying, excavation, and documentation of artifacts and sites. These roles are often seasonal or project-based, depending on funding and project needs. Temporary Archaeologists work under the supervision of senior archaeologists and may assist with lab processing and report writing. This job is ideal for those gaining experience in the field or seeking flexible archaeological work.
Temporary Archaeologists often participate in a variety of field projects, such as cultural resource management surveys, excavation of sites before construction, or monitoring infrastructure projects for potential archaeological finds. The work is typically performed outdoors in diverse environments, ranging from forests and deserts to developed urban settings, and may involve travel and extended periods in the field. Team structures often include supervisors, field technicians, and sometimes specialists, requiring close collaboration and clear communication. Temporary assignments vary in length, offering exposure to different regions and types of archaeology, which can help build valuable experience for longer-term career opportunities in the field.
To thrive as a Temporary Archaeologist, you need foundational knowledge in archaeological methods, artifact identification, and a relevant degree in anthropology, archaeology, or a similar field. Experience with GPS units, GIS software, field recording tools, and often certifications such as OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER are typically required to perform fieldwork safely and efficiently. Strong communication, adaptability, and attention to detail are key soft skills for working in diverse teams and varied outdoor environments. These capabilities are vital to ensuring accurate data collection, safety, and effective collaboration during often fast-paced and dynamic archaeological surveys.
