Critical Thinking Questions
Why do you think it is so important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations?
Why do you believe understanding our past is important to our future?
Do you believe it would be more challenging to be a historical archaeologist or a prehistoric archaeologist? Why?
Would you rather work as an academic archaeologist or a cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist? Why?
Which of the areas of an archaeological excavation would you find the most interesting? Why?

1) It is very important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations because you have to planned out everything in order to find a method or a way to work through the study.

2) Understanding our past is important to our future because studying history enables us to understand the world better and the past gives us courage and protects us from harm.

3) It would be more challenging to be a prehistoric archaeologist as compared to historical archaeologist because historic archaeology is easier to study due to the presence in written form whereas Prehistoric archaeology is very difficult to study due to no written records are present.

4) I will work as an academic archaeologist as compared to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist because academic archaeologists are active researchers in their field which also published their work in the books, journals, and popular publications.
