Just published in our Archaeology Q&A section is a new entry by Guadalupe Cincunegui providing a perspective of someone who works as a consulting archaeologist in Australia.

For any of you in Australia contemplating archaeology as a future profession, Guadalupe’s story may give you some idea about job possibilities in Australia.

Like all the other archaeologists who tell their stories in our Q&A section, Guadalupe’s passion for archaeology shines through – so much so that she still spends her holidays volunteering on a dig at Pella in Jordan.
