# archaeologist

noun (an archaeologist, archaeologists)

«archaeologist» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

An archaeologist is a scientist who studies how people lived long ago by digging up and examining old things they left behind, such as bones, tools, pots and buildings. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/A/archaeologist/#m1)

### In the lessons

In history lessons archaeologists explain how we know about the Stone Age, Romans, Vikings and Egyptians: they dig carefully, record where each find was, and date it. Archaeologists study human remains and things people made; dinosaur bones are studied by palaeontologists instead. In stories, archaeologists explore tombs and lost cities.
