Depends on what you want to do. You can be a field tech with just a bachelor's. If you want to lead the digs, you need a master's. If you want to teach people about it all and hang out in the universities, you'll need a PhD.
Most archaeologists in the West work in the private sector nowadays, and Indiana Jones has very little to do with what we do on a daily basis, to whoever said that. For instance, we hardly ever get chased by Nazis now. But, yeah, start out with a bachelor's and field school, work some, and figure out if you like it before spending all the extra time and money on an advanced degree, especially a PhD. What with how hard university jobs are to get and with all the other stuff you have to put up with, you may just want to stick in the private sector.
See shovelbums.org or archaeologyfieldwork.com for employment listings. It's slow right now, but it's picking up.
