I go back and research, say, every reference to the Gorgons, and I find what the classical writers said about them and it's so much richer than you might get in an average Greek mythology text. I feel like an archaeologist - I'm dusting off these things that people have not seen for thousands of years and bringing them into the modern world.

I'm not an academic; I'm not an archaeologist. I'm a writer, communicating ideas to the public. There is a model of how the past is, and a lot of academic archaeology is about refining the model. It's not about changing the model radically. I'm not aware of any current which is about radically changing the model. It's just me, really.

Archaeologists often specialize in certain types of artifacts or eras, much like doctors have specialties.

Field Specialization

The word 'archaeologist' is frequently used in academic or educational contexts.

Academic Context

'Archaeologist' implies fieldwork, often in excavation sites, which students may confuse with purely lab-based scientists.

Dig Sites

 like this one here, and this potentially large one here. Unfortunately, we've also begun to uncover large-scale looting at sites, like what you see here. So many sites in Peru are threatened, but the great part is that all of this data is going to be shared with archaeologists on the front lines of protecting these sites.

 And then there are shipwrecks. As ships grow too old for use, they're usually abandoned near shore in out-of-the-way places like estuaries, rivers, and shallow bays. Archaeologists use these like a timeline to map a harbor's peaks and declines,
