Answer 3

Archaeologists are Anthropologists who try and understand past cultures by the clues they leave- largely in their buried relics.

Archaeologists don't deal with dinosaurs.  That would be a Paleontologist.

Yes, they do go into ruins, jungles, and pyramids on a regular basis -although not all at the same time.  Yes, there is there mystery solving to it...

You have to take University/College courses in Anthropology

You would generally go to a University/College.

What is pay like?  Well, not very much.

Answer 4

Well they go on discoveries all the time to find new things and they work with geologist's too they go to jungles, pyramids, and ruins on regular basis. they solve many mysteries and myths every day. To be one you have to spend regular 4 years in college and study in biology, chemistry, geology, and geography. Pay is not as much as you think it is because if you don't find or discover you get paid nothing or too little like $1000 or less. Good Luck!
