Do you think it would be interesting to be an archaeologist? Why is it an important job?

  1. I think it is important to to have archaeologist in the world because we would not know as much information as we do today! Being a archaeologist would be interesting because you would learn about different cultures and what they eat,what they do for work and other facsinating things!

  2. I think it would be awesome to be an archaeologist because you would learn a lot about the ancient cultures before our time. It is an important job because if we did not have archaeologists we not know a thing about the distant past.

  3. I think it would be cool to have a job as an archaeologist. My sister is actually majoring as an archaeologist and I am very interested. It is an important job because if we did not have arcaeologist then we would not know about the past as much as we do now.

  4. You girls are so right! If we didn't know anything about the past, how could we make a better future?
