Inclusion of those websites which are from commercial tour operators does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Archaeolink.com but are for information only.  As much as possible, I have used the commercial site's own words as the review.

Due to the enormous number of such sites on the Internet, I have made no attempt to even try and list them all, just enough to show the variety available, and with some coverage of most of the world's regions.

Hobbyist Archaeology __ K. Kris Hirst states it better than I ever could. "...not everybody wants to be a professional archaeologist. Becoming a professional archaeologist takes a lot of education—up to and including a PhD—and years of experience and hard work in far-flung places, with not much time for raising a family. And when you’re done, the jobs are hard to find, and it simply never pays well. While this suits a small percentage of the human population, by and large, the profession is not one a lot of people pursue." Here you can learn how to participate as an amateur and how your contribution to archaeology (unlike many other sciences) is truly appreciated. Whether as a vacation or a volunteer 'job,' she provides excellent information. - From About.com - http://archaeology.about.com/od/vacationsandtourism/a/hobbyist.htm
