Archaeology today, Technology, Transferable skillsResumen
Today’s competitive job market poses new challenges and demands, where technology is replacing many of the existing jobs, and new jobs are continuously created. Despite the limited opportunities for someone to attain a career in the field, a traditional discipline like archaeology can effectively equip its graduates to compete in this new environment with abilities and transferable skills which are classified among the topmost asked by employers. In addition, archaeology can no longer be regarded as a discipline removed from contemporary concerns and issues but can contribute to such discourses in a meaningful way.
