It’s tough getting the word out but most people still think Archaeologists dig up dinosaurs. We don’t. Archaeologists do not dig up dinosaur bones we work with ancient people. You want a paleontologists if you are interested in dinosaurs.

I’m so fed up with this. I was in a shop in France this summer, where they have all sorts of educational stuff for kids, telescopes, books, outdoors equipment, science kits etc., and they had an “archaeology kit”. With fake dinosaur bones to excavate. I’ll never buy anything from this shop again! I also found it very hard not to slap my old boss during my job interview, when he asked me “if I had had any luck digging up dinosaurs yet” and “if I’d found any crystal skulls”. Ugh.
