CHRIS’s Answer

Your best bet is to find a university with a reputable archaeology program. There at many great programs at there at schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Brown. I would then reach out to speak with someone in the industry and get their feedback on your questions. There's no better way to find out how to do something than to speak with someone that has firsthand experience doing it.
