      Hi Tia!

      That is a tough question! I’d say the most difficult thing about being an archaeologist is that you have to be quite adaptable and work quickly, as you can end up working on a lot of different projects at the same time that might not be about the same time period, or using the same methods. Because science evolves very quickly these days, the methods we use keep changing and improving all the time, so it means we have to keep updated on what other researchers are doing/finding and what method is best to use in our research. It can be difficult at times but it’s also what makes science exciting! 🙂
