No.  Most archaeologists are college professors - a job that has lots of advantages, but doesn't pay especially well.  Things that are collected will belong to the country where they were collected.  Jobs that involve artifacts that pay a bit better would be an appraiser at a large auction house or a curator.

People get into archaeology because it is cool and you travel and work outside and in labs - not for big bucks.
