What is an archaeologist's funding?

Question

???

Answer 1

Some would be on salary for a museum, university or government.  Some would get grants for particular projects, again from government or private institutions.

Here's an example of some grants.

Answer 2

Depends on whart part of the field they go into.  the two biggies are:

Academic/Museum - university backing mixed with grants they can win

CRM - either public money (state/federally employed, such as at NPS) or private developers that need archaeological investigations to get permits in accordance with NEPA, NHPA or other state/federal legislation

Answer 3

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is funding an archaeologist receives. :)
