Archaeologists don't do dinosaurs!
When people think of archaeologists going on a dig, they usually envision them digging up dinosaur bones. This is a common error that people have about archaeology. Archaeologists study past human life, not dinosaur life! Dinosaurs roamed the earth long before humans existed, and scientists who specialize in studying dinosaur bones are called paleontologists.
