An Archaeologist's Diary

A real archaeologist has very little in common with Indiana Jones, except maybe the hat. While archaeologists appear to have an exciting job and to lead a rather adventurous lifestyle, rest assured that this is not always the case! The life of an archeologist can be tough... and occasionally boring.

In my spare time, I have created this website to share with you precious (and often hilarious) moments of my life as an archaeologist. Also, because I travel around the globe a fair bit, I decided to share my photographs with those who hope to live vicariously through me. Welcome to my life.

This website helps answer myriad questions about what it's like to be an archaeologist. Comments and questions are welcome, but make sure you have browsed the site for an answer before you e-mail your query. Please note that because of my rather nomadic lifestyle, I do not answer homework questions.

I'm pleased to say that after months and months of work the French version of "What is archaeology?" is finally available--for the first time ever on An Archaeologist's Diary (this section was never translated into French on the former site). You'll also find my latest adventure on ARCHÉOblogue (if you care to read more stuff in French, that is).
