Archaeologist - a scientist who studies the life and culture of ancient civilizations on the remains of their life. The main tasks of the archaeologist works include excavations to search for the study of sources. Archaeology is often compared to the work of the detective. This is a creative profession, as you have to use your imagination and abstract thinking to recreate a pristine picture of the past of the world. Archeologists work as if with some puzzle elements, which need to pull together to solve the mystery. Sometimes, the entire disclosure of the secrets of some ancient culture or archaeological site takes years.
