Hi, Archaeology is an interdisciplinary activity that revolves around the investigation of material development made by earlier human societies. For degree or post graduate diploma courses in archaeology one should have completed his/her graduation in any discipline. However, graduates in social sciences like sociology, history, anthropology are given a preference. So, you can go ahead. Archaeology is a perfect career for those people who derive self-satisfaction in discovering a part of history and culture long lost in the dust of time. Colleges that you can consider- 1. Awadhesh Pratap Singh College of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology 2. Deccan College Post Graduate & Research Institute - Pune 3. Delhi Institute of Heritage Research and Management 4.
