What is the income of an archaeologist?
   
The income of an archaeologist depends upon several things like their level of education, years of experience, and where they are employed.
A field assistant just initially starting out, with a BA in anthropology, working as a short-term field employee on a project, will typically earn $10 to $12 dollars an hour.
A professor or a museum curator at a large research institute who has a PhD, many years of experience, and has produced many publications, may earn some $80,000 to $100,000 dollars a year.
The finest way to get a clear idea of this is to look at real jobs ads.
