Colleagues,

For those who do not know me, I am one of the student representatives
on the Management Board of the Archaeological Geology Division (AGD)
of the Geological Society of America (GSA).

The current foci of AGD includes recruitment and retainment of
student members in the division. The division's meeting last year at
the GSA conference in Philadelphia reaffirmed this as a central
goal. One of the recent tools created for students in archaeological
geology and geoarchaeology is an on-line database of funding, grants,
awards, and studentships for graduate students in relevant fields:

http://web.mac.com/elleryfrahm/iWeb/Geoarch/

This funding database has been very well received, and we ask for
your continued submissions to keep the database up-to-date. In
particular, I encourage faculty members to announce studentships on
this page, which has been viewed over 1600 times within the last
eight months.

I am writing today, though, to advertise a new listserver for student
members of AGD. This listserver is a moderated e-mail-based forum,
giving the students in the division a way to interact both
professionally and socially. Students can get to know one another,
share information and experience, organize field trips and sessions,
connect at conferences, sell books, vent frustrations, and talk about
other subjects subscribers would like to discuss. Hopefully
subscribers will find the list both useful and enjoyable. This came
about as an excellent suggestion from Laura Murphy at the University
of Kansas. For additional information about the listserver,
including how to subscribe, please visit the site below:

If you are a student, either graduate or undergraduate, interested in
the earth sciences and archaeology, but you are not a member of GSA
and/or AGD, please do consider membership so you can gain the
benefits of membership and contribute to the society and division.
If you are not yet a student member but are interested in learning
more or meeting people using the listserver, please feel free to send
me an email. You should also check out the division's website:

http://www.geosociety.org/arch/

Also feel free to forward this email to any students who might be
interested.

Best,
Ellery
