Ma vie d\u2019arch\u00e9ologue a commenc\u00e9 alors que j\u2019\u00e9tais en troisi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e de mon baccalaur\u00e9at en histoire \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Guelph. J\u2019ai alors postul\u00e9 pour \u00eatre un technicien de terrain junior en arch\u00e9ologie dans une grande entreprise d\u2019ing\u00e9nierie. L\u2019annonce indiquait qu\u2019ils acceptaient les candidatures de dipl\u00f4m\u00e9s en arch\u00e9ologie ou en domaines d\u2019\u00e9tudes connexes ; mon dipl\u00f4me d\u2019histoire \u00e9tant un de ces domaines d\u2019\u00e9tude connexe.<\/p>\n
On m\u2019a offert une entrevue et on m\u2019a pos\u00e9 la question suivante: \u00ab Comment un dipl\u00f4me d\u2019histoire vous pr\u00e9pare-t-il pour le travail de terrain en arch\u00e9ologie ? \u00bb J\u2019ai tout simplement r\u00e9pondu : un dipl\u00f4me d\u2019histoire me permet de penser d\u2019une fa\u00e7on critique, ce que la plupart des gens ne font pas. Les historiens abordent les questions de plusieurs points de vue pour trouver une solution logique et pragmatique, tout en tenant compte de la situation dans son ensemble. Un dipl\u00f4me d\u2019histoire me permet de comprendre le contexte socio-\u00e9conomique de la culture mat\u00e9rielle que nous d\u00e9couvrons.<\/p>\n
Mon dipl\u00f4me en histoire aide \u00e0 situer les artefacts dans un contexte plus vaste qui est bas\u00e9 sur des r\u00e9cits historiques pr\u00e9existants, ce qui peut, dans certains cas, changer ces r\u00e9cits historiques.<\/p>\n
Apr\u00e8s quelques ann\u00e9es sur le terrain, j\u2019ai pu obtenir mon permis\u00a0de\u00a0fouilles arch\u00e9ologiques du minist\u00e8re du Tourisme, de la Culture et du Sport. Aujourd\u2019hui, quelque six ans plus tard, je continue \u00e0 diriger des fouilles dont la datation est de 10 000 ans ou plus jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e8re des colonies euro-canadiennes \u00e0 partir du XIXe<\/sup>\u00a0si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n Avec mon baccalaur\u00e9at en histoire, et une ma\u00eetrise en arch\u00e9ologie de l\u2019University College \u00e0 Dublin, je suis en mesure de d\u00e9velopper une meilleure compr\u00e9hension des sites arch\u00e9ologiques que je supervise et de progresser avantageusement dans une carri\u00e8re tr\u00e8s enrichissante o\u00f9 on fait la d\u00e9couverte de nouveaux artefacts qui ont des histoires importantes \u00e0 raconter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1665,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-14800","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cha-shc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/14800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cha-shc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cha-shc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cha-shc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cha-shc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
