According to a previous thread one obvious thing an archaeologist is is someone who can't claim a treasure trove reward!
This is a bit like the question 'what is art?', which might be defined as whatever someone says is art. In which case, anyone who says they are an archaeologist is one. This certainly does happen - there are several alleged archaeologists out there - but it's not a good definition.
