Read. Answer the questions.

Are you a Future Archaeologist?

Would you like a job that requires training as a mountain climber, white-water rafter, and a
deep-sea diver? Christopher Begley, an archaeologist, does all of these activities.

Archaeologists study objects from the past to understand history. Sometimes the objects are hiding
deep in the jungle or high on a mountain. Begley explores the sites and shares what he learns with
others. He likes his job very much because it’s full of adventures.

When he was a boy, Begley already knew that he wanted to be a scientist one day. He also wanted
to explore the world. As an archaeologist, Begley feels like a detective. He studies clues from the
past. His favourite part of the job is telling the stories that have been lost.

If you would like a job that combines adventure with science, archaeology may be for you!
