Funny how American academics group the MA together with the PhD as advanced degrees. In Sweden, the MA is the basic standard degree. There is no such thing as "grad school", only the PhD programme.
You are absolutely nobody in academic #archaeology here just on the strength of having written an MA thesis in that discipline. Many bus drivers and librarians have.
