Can you study science with archaeology

Deepti Singh 5th Oct, 2024

Hello,

Yeah, you may do science accompanied by archaeology. Archaeology is a multidisciplinary field and to gain further knowledge about history, it needs to be combined along with other scientific disciplines. Many branches of science are connected with archaeology too, such as biology, chemistry, physics, and geology.


For example, the archaeological science applies methods like carbon dating (chemistry), DNA analysis (biology), and remote sensing (physics) to retrieve information related to earlier civilizations. If one is interested in both science and archaeology then, one can opt for a course in archaeology and archaeometry, it is an application of scientific methods to problems in archaeology.

Learning science along with archaeology brings within one's career scope and opportunities in forensic archaeology, paleobotany, and environmental archaeology, where bodies and other remains alongside environmental data are analyzed.


Universities allow for joint or interdisciplinary courses in order to complement archaeology with science, and this is a good and well-rounded education that would really be helpful when making studies in the field.

I regret choosing economics as this subject doesnt give me the same satisfaction as history. also I cant quit midway so Is it possible to do any diploma in archaeology after completing my graduation in economics? Im more interested in the field work and research.(Also I had history + geography in higher secondary)

Nitin Kumar 7th Jun, 2024

Having a degree in Economics won't hinder your pursuit of Archaeology.  .It's commendable that you are following your interest in history and archaeology. While Economics is valuable, a career fueled by passion can be very rewarding.

Many universities and colleges in India offer diploma courses in Archaeology. These programs typically last for one or two years, depending on the institution. Since you have a diploma in Mechanical Engineering (though with a backlog) and higher secondary education with History and Geography, you'd likely be eligible for most Diploma in Archaeology programs. They might require a minimum percentage in your higher secondary exams, so check with specific colleges.

Your Economics background can be surprisingly beneficial in Archaeology:

  • Data Analysis: Archaeological research often involves analyzing large datasets from excavations and surveys. Your Economics background could be an asset in this area.

  • Resource Management: Archaeology projects require budgeting and resource management skills, which your Economics knowledge can help with.

    Choose the Right Program: Look for Diploma programs with a strong focus on fieldwork and research. Many programs include practical components like excavation simulations or archaeological site visits.

    Highlight Your Interests: During the application process, highlight your passion for fieldwork and research in your statement of purpose.

    I hope it helps!
