Ask the Experts

Our Experts, who have volunteered to share their time and information, include researchers, university professors, AIA Board members, ancient art historians, field archaeologists, museum specialists, architectural historians, and more – all with specialized knowledge of specific ancient cultures and subjects.

We have created a catalogue of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). In the FAQ section are answers to some of the questions archaeologists are most often asked, arranged by topic. If you want to know the meaning of a particular archaeological term, please check our online Glossary.

If you cannot find an answer in the FAQ, please leave a comment! Please be patient, since our volunteer archaeologists are sometimes excavating, teaching, or otherwise occupied, and may not be able to respond immediately.

Graduate Archaeology Carbon-14/Conservation

Submitted by Emily on July 27, 2012.

Hello! I am looking for graduate school programs to pursue my career in archaeology! I am currently a history major with a chemistry minor, going into my senior year of college. I am looking specifically for a PhD program for carbon-14 dating or conservation. However, I do not know where to begin! What types of programs should I be looking for? What exactly is the title of the profession that I would be involved in?
