Archaeology Online
A growing number of people are getting exposed to the world of archaeology through the internet. As an archaeologist myself, I can't help but love this trend. It's hard to believe so many people are so vested in the very topics I love. I've tapped into this with my YouTube channel Evolve.2, where I publish documentaries on topics ranging from early human evolution to Native American stone technology.
This eBook is my next contribution. It's aimed at helping you understand the topics that I and other online creators discuss in our videos. Included are introductions to the following topics:
- Archaeological Methods
- The Archaeological Record
- Dating Methods
- Interdisciplinary Approaches
- Ethics in Archaeology
- Career Paths in Archaeology
- The Future of Archaeology
The problem with so much of this online archaeology content is that it's inherently limited. I can only fit so much information on a given topic in a 30-minute video - even an hour, for that matter. Because of this, creators (including myself) are limited in the amount of background information we can provide to our audience. I created this eBook with this very problem in mind. I crafted it to provide a baseline understanding of archaeology, which you can wield as you explore the field on your own.Â
This project has been a labor of love, blending my academic background, professional experience, and passion for making archaeology accessible to everyone. Whether you’re curious about how ancient tools were made, how we uncover the secrets of prehistoric societies, or why archaeology is essential to understanding our species, this eBook has something for you. It’s designed to be engaging, informative, and perfect for anyone who loves history, science, or discovery - especially if you're a beginner, just getting your feet wet.
