Archaeology courses can help you learn excavation techniques, artifact analysis, site documentation, and historical interpretation. You can build skills in critical thinking, research methodologies, and the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for mapping archaeological sites. Many courses introduce tools like 3D modeling software for reconstructing ancient structures and databases for cataloging finds, allowing you to engage with both the practical and theoretical aspects of archaeological work.
