Archaeology

Hi guys! Today I am going to talk about the career that I chose. Actually, I study anthropology, “the man science” or “the human science”; but I want specialize me in archaeology, furthermore, today I was participating in the “Latin American Meeting of Zooarchaeology” :3 This has been wonderful. When I was a little girl, for my birthday nº8, my daddy gave me books of history, I loved these books (and still I love these xD). In these books report topics about the archaeological jobs. Since this moment, I loved of this discipline. Everybody told me that “I would starve” if I’ll study this career :( but, this wasn’t enough for do me change of opinion. Always charm me the mystery that the archaeology hides. I love discover and study the old and missing civilizations, know how they thought and acted, their customs, ideologies, and others.
The principal contribution for the society of the archaeology is that this discipline (aside from protect historical and cultural heritage of a society) give knowledge to the population and the world about the different aspects that developed in the past both in the environment and in the human in it totality. Moreover, only knowing our past, we can understand and complement that we are now. Now, the tools that a professional need are, obviously, tools that needed in fieldwork and laboratory work, like dating methods. Also, for the archaeology is essential the support of the politic, specially in the help for the preservation of the patrimony. And finally, my favourite subjects are the zooarchaeology, because I have had much contact with this sub-discipline, and I like the study topics related ideologies, religion, and the art, principally the rock art and the study of all forms of expression of the human.
