From Desk to Field

Early Career Observations from Contract Archaeology in Denmar

Resumé

We have invited our two editors, Maria and Anna, who currently work in contract archaeology to elaborate on their experiences of how it is to transition from studying to working, and what it is like to work in Denmark as an archaeologist who has graduated from TORS.  It is a product of our experiences, and neither of us have many years of field experience, but we do know what it is like to be new in the field of contract archaeology.  The essay is structured like a Q & A session as we felt that was the best way to address the concerns, we had ourselves when we started, as well as a few submitted questions.
