barkingdigger Wrote:"Worldly knowledge"? When I was an undergrad (a long time ago, in a Uni far, far away...) the Geology Dept decided to institute a month-long field school for all the new crop of kiddies. That first month under canvas was so successful, the second year's field school got to kick off with an in-depth lesson in birth control! Seems you cannot count on worldly knowledge any more than you can count on common sense...
And for the record, I'm an Archaeologist because I like to study the past, not because I can trowel or shovel. The methods may vary, and I'll happily steal technology or ideas from other disciplines, but it has nothing to do with how dirty my hands get! "School of Jack" has a rather limited scope so far...
You are of course correct. The School of Jack does what it says on the tin. See the school prospectus for other courses on being an archaeologist.
