Could a strategy game train you to think strategically?
With over 20 million people playing, there are more Viking players today, than actual vikings ever lived!

The first things an archaeologist does when he arrives at a site is look for pottery or carved stones such as flint tools or arrowheads. That will help him a great deal in dating the find. The next thing, if it is in the USA, is to look for signs of pre-Clovis cultures or evidence of early writing by Native Americans. Those pieces of evidence will need to get broken up and buried elsewhere, before anyone else arrives. The next thing is to see who will agree, without even visiting the site, to support your findings, which you have not come up with yet. But it helps to get that in early. And finally, he needs to determine which of his grad students are most likely to break their backs and yet least likely to squawk when he fails to give them any credit for anything they discover. Oh, and change his closes for the newspaper photo ops.
Am I being cynical? Yes, to a degree. Some archaeologists work hard, and provide a valuable service to humanity. Too bad they come from small university backgrounds and their finds won’t receive much attention, nor will they be able to publish in first class journals.
