Cultural anthropologists with an emphasis on medical anthropology also find jobs in community health. Archaeologists with a BA in anthropology can do work called 'contract archaeology'. This means that they are called upon to investigate sites that are usually about to undergo some construction work. Contract archaeologists quickly go in and make sure the construction of a new building will not destroy an archaeological site that may be hidden under the surface. Archaeologists also may use the education in geology and earth science to work for government natural resource and ecology departments.
Archaeologists sometimes work with museums, both pubic and private.
The majority of their time is not typically spent on museum-sponsored excavations. Instead, the archaeologist works at sorting, cataloging, and storing huge collections of artifacts. Physical anthropologists can also find work in museums in the same capacity that cultural anthropologists and archaeologists may. Those specializing in primatology can work in zoos as educators and zookeepers. Physical anthropologists that specialize in human biology and anatomy may pursue work in forensics.
