Archaeologists are able to disable traps, but are they able to put ranks into disable device?
It doesn't state whether the archetype gains disable device despite referencing using it.
Everyone can put ranks into every skill. It does not need to be a class skill for you to put ranks into it.
The only thing you miss out on if it is not a class skill is the +3 bonus if you have ranks in it.
And no, archaeologists do not gain Disable Device as a class skill.

There are a number of traits that give you Disable Device as a class skill.
