If you are an administator associated with archaeologists (students or
professional)
looking for field work, please post or e-mail this message to interested
parties (dept. anthropology student lists, personal archaeology friends
network, etc.)

This list is for anyone who understands what it means to be a modern
field archaeologist, and for those looking to find out.  We are known as
"shovelbums" by friends and family.  We move from state to state
(literally and figuratively) following the cash cow pipelines or saving
up to go and work on those great digs, you know the ones with great
archaeology, lots of satisfaction, but little pay.

I learned when starting in the 80's that finding jobs has traditionally
been via your personal networks of friends in the field using
telephone, letters, and as of late web resources.  The Shovelbums list
serves to streamline and compliment that whole process, taking advantage of
the nearly ubiquitous access we all have to e-mail. Now when someone knows
of a project, anywhere, with the word out for hires, this is the place to
announce or find it, and it comes right to your mailbox.

Folks,

At the end of the month I will try to sum up the job posting/calls for
vitae that we have had on here. Since this list has only been live for 6
days (and already has 130+ subcribers) I consider that a sign that
shovelbums will work as a good medium for us all.  As I am promoting this
list still I would like to ask any of you, who have not done so already, to
please forward the invitaion for "shovelbums" (as well as
shovelbums_gossip) at the bottom of this message to your own personal network
of shovelbum friends.  If you are in a university setting if you could pass
this on to the dept. coordinator and have them forward it to your
anthropology student body (if your department does such things), or print is
and post it on a bulletin board near the anthropology office/grad
students offic I would appreciate it.

Other news:  A web site is planned to compliment the list.  This is
going slow as I finish up my masters, but it will come in time.

         ---comments to R. Joe: shovelbums@...---

If you are an administator associated with archaeologists (students or
professional) looking for field work, please post or e-mail this message to
interested parties (department anthropology student lists, personal
archaeology friends network, bulletin board in the main office, etc.)

This list is for anyone who understands what it means to be a modern
contract (CRM) field archaeologist, and for those looking to find out.  We
are referred to, sometimes disparagingly, by family and friends as
"shovelbums".  Regardless of the name this is a proud, but challenging,
profession, and one deserving a more cohesive network to find the jobs we so
dearly love. As we move from state to state (literally and figuratively)
following the cash cow pipelines or saving up to go and work on those great
digs, the ones with great archaeology, lots of satisfaction, but little pay,
we sometimes loose contact with our networks on where the next job is.

I learned when starting in "the field" in the 80's that finding jobs
dependeds almost exclusivley on your network of friends.  You might
hear from Pat who has heard from Cathy that so-n-so is gearing up for a
big job.  At that time using telephone, letters, and lately web resources
were the mediums of choice.  The Shovelbums listserv will streamline and
compliment this whole process, taking advantage of the nearly ubiquitous
access we all have to e-mail. Now when someone knows of a project, anywhere,
with the word out for hires, this is the place to announce or find it, and it
comes right to your mailbox.  This list will not be region specific.  In
respect to the grand nature of our profession it is open to postings for
paying field jobs, anywhere.  If you dig it, they will come.

Job stuff:

I have heard some rumors about A:  Lots of work in Alaska this summer,
and B: a couple of big pipelines, one is running from ND to Illinois and
has crews in the field now (IMAC in Minnesota is running this job I believe,
though I know they had TRC-Mariah helping them out on an Illinois (?!) leg
for a bit), and another company (?) running a pipeline in NW New Mexico?

Are there any big cemetary Jobs continuing this year?  There were a
number of big ones last summer/fall in Houston and several out East, are
these ongoing?

I know a number of you on this list are on these jobs/in the areas, and
so if they are hiring pass the word onto the list.

Hello,

Being a recent MA grad. the time has come to find a job.  Is anybody looking for
a full time Feild Director/ Zooarch? I am free to move anywhere in the US!

On a side note: There are at least 30 Grad students at U of Tenn that know of
"shovelbums" existence now!  The word is spreading!

Chris

Great site idea!

I'm looking for a full time field director/osteologist position in the
DC/Northern Virginia area (I'll be finished with my master's in a few
weeks).  If anyone has any leads, please let me know.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hello to all,

This might possibly be off the track for shovelbums, but does anybody know
of a good fieldschool for Palaeolithic France, or eastern Europe. I really
want to find something with a classroom component as well as practical
experience. I have a BA in anthro, teach secondary hist, anthro, & bio, and
have worked at a site in Croatia. Plan to return there this September
barring continued/escalating mayhem in the area, but  I would also like to
work earlier, during the summer months. Any leads would be helpful and
thanks in advance : )

Dear,

Are you aware of jobs for archaeologists in Europe ?

I am a Flemish archaeologist from the University of Leuven, and after two
years still looking for a job in this area.  I specialized in the Roman

Thanks anyway,

My roommate attended a summer field school in France through the University
of Pennsylvania, two or three years ago.  Dr.  Harold Dibble was the
instructor.  I'll try to find out more info for you!  He also went to France
several years before that, through University of Iowa.

I just arrived.  I have a PhD in Anthropology, and an interest in early
and medieval industrial arch.  I directed the dig at Howgill Village in
NW Cumbria (UK).  I'm also a fully equipped and experienced
archaeological photographer.  I'm looking for a long term committment.

To shovelbums,
	 I'm a December grad from the U. of Northern Iowa. Luckily, I've had a
chance to get my feet wet with both the Forest Service and the Park Service.
I have little difficulty finding job announcements for these (and other)
gov't positions.
	 My question: how do I find out about private sector arch. positions?
I've heard of a few agencies, even within the state of Iowa, but I've had no
luck locating them. Any suggestions?
	 Thanks....Daniel VanVuren

Daniel,

Your best bet is to contact your State Archaeologist to see who they
have listed in their files. Most offices maintain a listing of folks
that either have offices in that state or at least do work in that
state.  I found this to be my best source when tracking down private
sector jobs.

Daniel,
      Just contact your state's SHPO and they will furnish you with a
list of the contract companies that work in their state.  While they do
not include every single company/person the list will probably help you
out a lot.  A good idea is to contact several different states which
you might be interested in working in and get their listings too.  Send
out as many resumes as you can with a cover letter explaining your
interests.  Most companies do not advertise a lot of their project
openings due to the fast start up time, so they go directly to the pile
of resumes they have on file.  This is the prime time of year for
sending out a lot of resumes.  Hope this helps.

  Hi my fellow shovel bums!
                I recently graduated with B.A. in anthropology from
University of South Alabama on May 9th, and I am searching for jobs. I
want to know if there are any job openings or leads in the northeastern
section of United States, specifically in New Jersey.  It may sound like
that I am looking at that area only but I will look at jobs in other
sections of this country also..  Thanks for any help and feedback.

Cheers,
Ashley Watson

Hello all.  I've recently joined this list to see what comes across it, so
that annoucements can be added to the Archaeological Fieldwork Server on
the web. In case you haven't visited before, the AFS lists a great number
of fieldwork opportunities - paid positions, CRM jobs, field schools,
whatever is submitted or found on the 'net.  All are invited to send
postings for the AFS and to use it to find leads to any sort of fieldwork
of interest.

There are several contract companies in the Mid-Atlantic area that you can
check out.  I don't know any specifics about who may be hiring right now,
though.  In NJ, URS Greiner is a large engineering firm that hires
archaeologists.  They have a great reputation, both among people who work
there and their clients.  MAAR is located in Newark, Delaware, but I don't
know much about them.  People who have worked for them have seemed happy.
CHRS (Cultural Heritage Research Services) is located north of Philly, about
10 minutes off the PA Turnpike.  They hire field techs full time,
permanently, and give benefits after a few months (rare!).   There are many
more companies in the area--lots in the Wash. DC metro area that you could
check out, also.  Again, the best idea is to call the State Historic
Preservation Office and ask them to send you their list of companies.  Good
luck!
