Answering Six Questions for Anyone Interested in a Job in Archaeology (updated 2023)

Company Blog

Answering Six Questions for Anyone Interested in a Job in Archaeology (updated 2023) #1: Do I need a degree in archaeology to apply? No. Entry-level positions such as field and mapping technicians (techs) benefit from previous education in archaeology but it is not required. Many successful field techs started in landscaping, construction, or another field such as geography or biology. During the summer months, archaeology can also be a great way for students to earn money and valuable experience. We provide comprehensive on-the-ground skills training for all new hires. #2: How much does it pay? Most field technicians can earn between $20.25 and $28.50 per hour depending on prior work experience, education, and level of responsibility. Field directors’ rates of pay are also determined by education and experience and start…

International Women's Day 2020 In her own words... - Alex Kisielewski Hello everyone, my name is Alex Kisielewski and I am a Field and Mapping Technician at TMHC. My journey at this company started in 2015 while studying at the University of Western Ontario. In 2016, I graduated with a double major in Classical Studies and Bioarchaeological Anthropology. It was my interest in the Classics (the study of Greek and Roman history) in high school that led me to pursue archaeology academically and as an occupation. The discipline is a combination of my love for the outdoors, and fascination with the patterns of people from both the past and present. Alex recently published, The Codd Bottle: Rarity and Ingenuity in Ontario Archaeology While in university, I was privileged to be…

International Women's Day 2020 In her own words... - Marya D’Alessio [caption id="attachment_3886" align="aligncenter" width="432"] Marya presenting a poster at Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology Association (BARFAA) 2014 in Michigan during her MA research.[/caption] Hello everyone, I’m Marya, and I’m a Field Director and Osteologist for TMHC. My job includes supervising a field crew in various stages of archaeological assessments throughout Ontario, and identifying human remains during site excavations. Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish between faunal (animal) remains and human remains in the field, which is where my specialization comes in handy! I am extremely lucky that I am able to act as a Field Director and Osteologist for TMHC when needed, as this usually means that I get to see a variety of different types of archaeological sites…

International Women's Day 2020 In her own words... - Robyn Lacy Hello everyone, I’m Robyn, and I’m the new archaeological, cultural heritage, and social media technician at TMHC! As you can probably tell from my title, my job is a bit of a mixed bag, which absolutely keeps things interesting…every day is something new! I completed my MA in Historical Archaeology at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) in 2017, and moved to London shortly after to work in CRM, and was just accepted into MUN’s PhD program. The panel [photo opposite], from the National Museum of Scotland, has a hexfoil in the centre. This symbol was used for personal protection for hundreds of years, from the home to the grave. My favourite part of heritage…
