Subject: 2005 Shovel Bums Comprehensive Field School Directory & New Shovel Bums web site
rjoe_brandon
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello Folks,

Thanks for your patience while I integrated the 2005 Field School Directory and the new version of the Shovel Bums web site.

First things first:

The 2005 Field School directory is available online at http://shovelbums.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=4&Itemid=4
and a comprehensive list is included below.  Photos for field schools who submitted them will be online tomorrow.  The Shovel Bums  directory includes Field Schools from the Americas, Carri bean, Europe, Mediterranean  , Africa & Asia.  So go forth and educate yourself  :-)   A Field School is one of the most fundamental parts of your education in Archaeology and CRM, a Field School, and the schools below are all winners.  You can use the link above or browse the list below and be sure to let a school you advertise for know you found them through Shovel Bums.  Links to each regional category are embedded in the name of each Field School.

Secondly.  I am pleased to announce that the skeleton of the new Shovel Bums web site is now  online http://www.shovelbums.org/ .  I need to make it clear that you will I have the option to join the Shovel Bums "web site" as opposed to the "jobs mailing list".  Joining the web site will allow you add to features such as events calendar, links, online vita database (coming soon), community contact list, and a slew of other features in the near future.  It is important to understand that I keep the web site separate from the jobs mailing list for your security.  For the jobs mailing list I utilize the Yahoo servers which have a robust virus and spam protection engine.  And as usual, your e-mail address on Shovel Bums is private, won't be sold, etc....

The best features of the new Shovel Bums site are two unique elements.  The front page to the web site now offers the MOST comprehensive & concise listing of the niche CRM/Academic/Museum/Archaeology/Anthropology/Historic jobs in the world. Quite slick actually IMHO.  The way I see it:

Jobs is what Shovel Bums is about, jobs it what you get. 

To compliment the enhanced jobs feature on Shovel Bums I have also included a very diverse updated daily news page of topics of interest to us all.  And all with out pop up adds or an insanely busy interface.  Clean, simple, complete - I am so good to you :-)  I'll let you know as I add more useful features to the web site.  Let me know what you think at: http://www.shovelbums.org/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3

Best,

R. Joe

Project Director:

Rebecca Duggan and Dr. Bruce Fry, Parks Canada Archaeologists at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada

Field School Description:

The Louisbourg Public Archaeology Program provides a unique opportunity for archaeology enthusiasts to join supervised digs at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada. The 2005 season will focus on field study at the De la Valliere property which was occupied by French, British and New Englanders between 1720 and 1758. The program will begin with two 5-day field sessions in mid-late August. During each session, a crew of 10-12 participants will excavate a portion of the De la Valliere property, learn about archaeological field techniques, and attend presentations addressing current historical research at the Fortress. Although the crew will spend much of their time with trowels in hand, there will be ample opportunity for experiencing the sites and sounds of Fortress Louisbourg and exploring the rugged Cape Breton coastline.

Originally, Louisbourg was a large French settlement founded in 1713, fortified in the 1730s, besieged twice by New Englanders and the British, and finally demolished and abandoned by the British in the 1760s. Relatively untouched since the fall of the Fortress, the remnants of the colonial settlement have survived the centuries in a remarkable state of preservation.

Extensive archaeological excavations and historical research in the mid-twentieth century guided partial reconstruction of the fortified town and defensive walls. Approximately 25 percent of the Fortress has been brought to life and stands as the largest reconstruction project in North America. Three decades of archaeological and archival research has produced a staggering amount of information about eighteenth century colonial life at Louisbourg, but there s much more to discover! The Louisbourg Public Archaeology Program is a great opportunity to unearth the past.

Program cost: includes 5 day session, transportation to fortress from Visitors Center, daily lunch, 2 Period-style meals at the Fortress = $595 Cdn.

    California


    San Bernardino Archaeological Field School

    Start date
    : 06/27/2005 Month/Day/Year
    End date: 07/22/2005

    University, Company, Institution: California State University San Bernardino;Statistical Research Inc; San Bernardino National Forest; USA
    Field School location :California, USA

  • Excavation: Yes
  • Survey: Yes
  • Prehistoric: Yes
  • Historic: Yes
  • Rural Setting:
  • Short walk to site: Yes
  • Project Director:

    Drs. John Douglass and Kathleen Hull (Statistical Research Inc.)
    Douglas McKay (San Bernardino National Forest Mountaintop District Archaeologist)

    Field School Description:

    This year, in coordination with SBNF, the class will be conducting test excavation at CA-SBR-485, a prehistoric Native American site adjacent to Deep Creek on the northern side of the San Bernardino Mountains. Deep Creek is one of the tributaries of the Mojave River and is one of the few wild trout streams in southern California. Recently, portions of the site were inadvertently disturbed by construction of a public day-use area. A number of artifacts are visible on the surface, and bedrock features are present at the site. The Forest Service would like the class to perform test excavation of the site and conduct survey of the surrounding area to understand the nature, extent, and integrity of the cultural deposits and to evaluate the site for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The Forest Service anticipates that the SRI field school will return to this site over the next several seasons to carry out data recovery excavation.

    The site is located within the burn area from the 2003 Old Fire, but both the site and the field camp (about 300 meters away) were only minimally burned and retain their natural beauty. Both the camp and site are located along a stream flanked by a healthy growth of alder, willow, black and live oak, jeffrey pine, and other native vegetation. Because this portion of the forest has been officially closed due to the Old Fire, the field school is anticipated to have the area to itself.

    The course will be taught Mondays to Fridays over a four-week period from June 27 through July 22, 2005. Fieldwork will run from early morning until mid-afternoon every day, followed by evening lectures.

    During this field season, we will survey the site itself, access roads, and the creek banks to define the site boundaries and to determine if additional sites or activity areas are present nearby. Most of the work, however, will focus on excavation of test units at CA-SBR-485. During the final week of the field school, students will process the artifact collection at the field lab. During evening sessions (around the campfire, if we can acquire a fire permit from SBNF), experts in archaeological methods and material culture from SRI and local universities will lead discussions about such anthropological topics as survey methods, field cartography and navigation, historical archaeology, lithic analysis, ethnobotany and ethnology, and rock art. In addition, there are plans for specialists in other fields to offer lectures on the larger prehistoric and historical-period landscape. These informal seminars provide a unique opportunity for students to interact with a variety of specialists.

    Field school web site: http://csbs.csusb.edu/anthro/fieldschool.htm
    Field School Size: 1-15
    Minimum age: 18

  • Lectures: Yes
  • Free time travel is not restricted
  • Additional information about optional fields: A wide range of survey and excavation skills will be taught, supplemented by evening lectures and demonstrations.
    Rain would be very unusual; this is southern California where the sun shines.
    Certification of the field school by the Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA) is pending.
    Students will be free at weekends to either remain in the camp or travel. Local students participating in the field school often invite out-of-town students to their homes and on recreational trips during weekends.

    Tuition & Credit
  • Academic Credit: Yes
  • Number of Credits: 5 quarter units
  • Tuition: $825 for non-CSUSB students (subject to change)
  • Institution offering credit: California State University San Bernardino
  • Room and Board Information: The site is located in a remote area of the forest and no lodging or other amenities are close by. Consequently, SRI will maintain a field camp for the duration of the field school where students will be expected to live during the week. Students are responsible for their own tents and bedding. We regret that RVs are not permitted in this campground. Meals prepared by a professional camp cook (not a student) are provided. Water will be provided for drinking and for primitive showers. After registration, students will be sent a list of suggested equipment and clothing to bring.

    Room and Board cost: $650 for the 4-week season; includes all meals, camping and local transport

    Field School Description:

    The 2005 Mohegan/ECSU Archaeological Field School is set to enter its 11th consecutive summer making it one of the oldest and most successful field collaborations with a Native American tribal government. Our mission is to investigate both pre- and post-contact historic resources in and around the historic Mohegan reservation which was founded in the mid 17th century. These resources consist of many known and undiscovered archaeological sites set a rich historical landscape which includes tribal burial grounds, Mohegan homesteads, fortified village sites and numerous other historic sites both ancient and modern. In recent years, we have been concentrating on a fascinating 17th century site in an effort to better understand Mohegan life-ways, trade, warfare and economics in the early reservation period.

    The Mohegan/ECSU field school is a rare opportunity to work directly with members of the Mohegan tribe and its tribal government as well as members of other tribal nations. Each project is authorized directly by the Mohegan Tribal Council and operates under the supervision of the tribe's Historic Preservation Department. Besides learning excavation techniques and the broad expanse of Mohegan history, the program concentrates on exploring the relationship between archaeologists and Native Americans, both past and present, through a Native American lecture series. Professionals, scholars and dignitaries from mostly local tribes speak to the students about their various areas of expertise. In recent years, there has been a good mix of Native and Non-Native students which has helped to enhance the experience for both. Together we are building a new basis for cooperation and partnership as we explore the past for future generations.

    Field School Description:

    The 2005 Lakeside Laboratory archaeological field school will once again return to the Gillett Grove site in Clay County, Iowa to continue our on-going research project at this Oneota culture protohistoric village. The Gillett Grove site was first recorded in 1926 by Charles R. Keyes. Keyes, one of the founding figures of Iowa Archaeology, recorded hundreds of important sites across the State of Iowa. When Keyes visited the Gillett Grove site he found archaeological materials spread across a 20 acre area, "2 miles west and a little south of Gillett Grove...on a promontory of land on the north bank of the Little Sioux...12 low [house] mounds visible...large circular embankment/enclosure about 100 yards in diameter...on the highest central portion of the site." The site was formally entered in the Iowa Site File records and assigned the trinomial 13CY2 in 1960 by Bob Whiteside of the Sanford Museum. It has subsequently been visited by numerous Iowa archaeologists but only recently ha
    include lectures on Iowa Archaeology and the culture history sequence of Western Iowa as well as day trips to the Sanford Museum in Cherokee, Iowa, the Dixon Oneota site, Jeffers Petroglyphs, and Pipestone National Monument.

    Field School Description:

    NEW PHILADELPHIA ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH PROJECT: FIELDSCHOOL IN ARCHAEOLOGY AND LABORATORY TECHNIQUES

    May 24, 2005 to July 29, 2005.

    Sponsored by the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program.

    * APPLICATION DEADLINE: For Best Consideration -- March 25, 2005.

    Application forms and additional information are available by following the links for the New Philadelphia project on the University of Maryland's Center for Heritage Resource Studies web page, at: http://www.heritage.umd.edu

    Additional background information is available from the University of Illinois web pages, at: http://www.anthro.uiuc.edu/faculty/cfennell/NP

    * Field School Objectives:

    The New Philadelphia story is both compelling and unique. Many studies in historical archaeology that concentrate on African-American issues have focused on plantation life and the pre-emancipation era. The history of New Philadelphia is very different. It is a chronicle of racial uplift and centering on the success of an African-American family and their ability to survive and prosper in a racist society. In 1836, Frank McWorter, an African American who was born into slavery and later purchased his own freedom, acquired 42 acres of land in the sparsely populated area of Pike County, Illinois, situated in the rolling hills bounded by the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. He founded and platted a town, subdivided the property, and sold lots. McWorter used the revenues from his entrepreneurial efforts to purchase the freedom of sixteen family members, with a total expenditure of $14,000 a remarkable achievement. Families of African American and European American heritage moved to the town and created a multi-

    The history of New Philadelphia serves as a rare example of a multi-racial early farming community on the nation's Midwestern frontier (Walker 1983). The town's population reached its peak of about 170 people after the Civil War, a size comparable to many Pike County communities today. However, by the end of the century racial and corporate politics of America's gilded age resulted in the death knell for the settlement: regional transportation investors routed a new railroad line to pass north of the town. Many of New Philadelphia's residents eventually moved away and, by the early 20th century, only a few families remained (Walker 1983).


    This NSF-REU sites program will help enhance undergraduate education in scientific methods and analyses in an ongoing long-term project at New Philadelphia. The primary goals of the project are to:

    1) Understand the town's founding and development as a multi-racial integrated town;

    2) Explore and contrast dietary patterns between different households of different ethnic backgrounds by examining faunal and botanical remains;

    3) Reconstruct the townscape and town lot uses of different households from different ethnic backgrounds using botanical data and archaeological landscape features;

    4) Elucidate the different consumer choices residents of different ethnic backgrounds made in a frontier situation and understand how household choices changed with the increased connection to distant markets and changing perceptions of racialization within the society.

    The excavation and analysis of artifacts and archaeobiology data will provide students with a hands-on learning experience and mentoring process for students in an interdisciplinary setting. Ultimately, these different data sets will be integrated and the students will gain an understanding of the importance of scientific interdisciplinary research as they examine the growth and development of the town. This research will elucidate how individual members and families of this integrated community made choices to create their immediate environment, diet, agricultural practices, social affiliation, and consumer choices.

    * Archaeological and Research Setting:

    New Philadelphia in Pike County, Illinois is situated between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. Today, most of the original 42 acres have been returned to agricultural use. Only a few scattered house foundations are visible in the plowed fields.

    This archaeology project serves as an excellent opportunity for students to participate in many aspects of a scientific research program. Students will be divided into teams and they will work collaboratively on an assigned town lot in New Philadelphia. Prior to excavations, each student will draw from the broader research goals of this project to create an individual and focused research design to be addressed in the course of their field school experience. The field school instructors will teach students about the different archaeological theories used to formulate such research designs, and the methods, sampling, and excavation strategies used in archeology to explore those questions.

    Each team will be responsible for helping to develop a research design, retrieving archaeological data (material culture and archaeobiology data), cleaning and cataloging the materials, data entry, and analyzing artifacts and archaeobiological materials from one town lot. Student teams will work closely in a mentorship situation with Illinois State Museum, Research and Collection Center (ISM-RCC), University of Illinois (UI) and University of Maryland (UM) staff in order to acquire the necessary skills to perform scientific research. Each student will "specialize" in one form of analysis and they will report on their findings at the end of the summer session. This information will allow students to work as a team to reconstruct the landscape and lifeways of residents of this historic town.

    Evening lectures will be presented and the group will take several field trips to local historic sites and museums during the ten-week course.

    * Results:

    At the end of the course student teams will make a presentation of their results. Field school staff and members of the community interested in this archaeology project will be invited to a half-day symposium to listen to and discuss the results presented by each team member. The presentation will allow for the dissemination of new information as well as group assessment and constructive critique of the work of each field school participant and the overall project. With the help of field school instructors, this presentation will introduce students to the skill of public speaking and it will help provide them the techniques for communicating scientific results to a public audience. After this presentation and discussion, student teams will assess evaluations and create a strategy on how to best present this work to other audiences. They can also provide their assessments of the priorities that should be placed on the various research goals to be pursued in ongoing historical and archaeological investigations

    * Project Location, Facilities and Student Stipends:

    All students are required to be in Pike County on May 23th and the instructions will begin on May 24th. New Philadelphia is about 75 miles west of Springfield, Illinois, and 25 miles east of Hannibal, Missouri. There is no mass transportation to the immediate area. The closest town is Barry, Illinois (population 1400) where students will stay at the Kinderhook Lodge. Lodging and meals will be provided during weeks 1-5 while staying in Pike County and students will be transported to the site every day. During the weekends students are free to travel and explore the region when fieldtrips are not scheduled. (The Kinderhook Lodge is located between the towns of Kinderhook and Barry on Rt. 106).

    During weeks 6-10 students will move to the dormitories in Springfield, Illinois and work at the ISM-RCC. This facility provides a state-of-the-art environment and it has vast collections and high quality research laboratories and offices for anthropology, botany, geology, and zoology. During the weekends students are free to travel and explore the region.

    Students receive a $300 per week stipend paid on a bi-weekly basis.

    * Application Procedure:

    Each student is required to submit an application form, transcripts from all colleges attended, two letters of recommendation, and an essay. For best consideration, the final date for receipt of all applications materials is March 25, 2005. This field school is sponsored by the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates sites program, and will select students based on their scholarly ability as well as their motivation and ability to perform scholarly and scientific research.

    Field School Description: The Field School is investigating landscapes in and around the Village of Deerfield to better understand the long history of human occupation, use and transformation of Western Massachusetts. This year the field school will study a European homelot, the Frary Home/Barnard Tavern in the Village of Deerfield. An early European house was burned in the 1704 raid on Deerfield, then the homelot was used by a series of improving farm families into the late 19th century. One of these families, the Barnards, kept a tavern in the early 19th century. The homelot was bought and restored for the first time by a leader of the Arts and Crafts movement in the late 19th century, restored again when it became part of the museum that presently owns it, Historic Deerfield, Inc. Fieldwork this summer will assist in planning a new installation of the Homelot. The field school is part of a long-term project to document and understand the impacts of capitalist development on everyday life in rural Ne

    The field school runs at least eight hours a day, five days a week, for four weeks. Students should gain an understanding of excavation and survey methods and techniques, develop an appreciation of aspects of the material world of a New England village, consider problems of meshing the documentary and archaeological records, learn how to do public interpretation, and develop insights into the material dimensions of class, gender, race, and ethnicity in historical New England.

    Field School Description:

    The Cox Ranch Community Research Project is exploring the nature of community organization during the Chacoan era (A.D. 1000-1150), with work at one of the southernmost settlements linked to the Chacoan regional system. Washington State University researchers have been conducting archaeological field work in the community since 2002, and have directed field schools at the site since 2003. The field school program emphasizes linkages between field strategies and research interests, and is designed to provide a thorough introduction to archaeological field methods and Southwestern prehistory. The field school provides training in excavation, survey, and artifact identification and analysis. Excursions to archaeological and cultural sites in the region supplement the experience, providing a larger context for the project and Southwestern archaeological research.

    The project is exploring the nature of community organization during the florescence of Chaco Canyon and the Chacoan regional system, a period in which there were widespread connections between settlements throughout much of the Four Corners area. Project research centers on Cox Ranch Pueblo, a complex consisting of a 50 room Chaco style great house surrounded by 18 smaller residences. Excavations are designed to recover artifacts that will permit us to determine if the residences were contemporaneous, to reconstruct the types of activities associated with each household, and to examine how they relate to the focal buildings at the site. Students will help us collect representative artifact samples from a variety of residential and great house contexts. In 2005, we plan to continue our testing of the great house and to begin testing residences throughout the site. Detailed mapping of residential structures will be conducted to better understand the growth of the site and its total population. Our three years

    Field School Description: The UNM Southwestern Archaeological Field School will be held in 2005 in the southern portion of the Jemez Mountains. The Mountains are volcanic in origin with elevations ranging from 6,500 to 11,000 ft. During the field school, students will learn state-of-the-art field archaeological skills that will emphasize recognition and mapping of surface archaeology. As management and protection of archaeological resources have become increasingly important, archaeological fieldwork has moved away from excavation to the research, documentation and protection of the surface archaeological record. Our fieldwork will reflect this changing orientation. Students, however, will also have exposure to excavation method and technique by working with professional archaeological crews at a large site in the Valles Caldera.

    The 2005 University of Iowa Archaeolgoical Field School at Abo Pueblo, New Mexico

    Application Deadline: 03/25/2005
    Start Date: 06/13/2005
    End Date: 07/23/2005

    University, Company, Institution: University of Iowa ,
    Field School location :Mountainair, New Mexico, USA

  • Excavation: Yes
  • Prehistoric: Yes
  • Historic: Yes
  • Period: Late Prehispanic and Early Colonial Period
  • Rural Setting:
  • Project Director:

    Dr. William M. Graves, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Iowa

    Field School Description:

    The Department of Anthropology at The University of Iowa is pleased to announce the 2005 University of Iowa Archaeological Field School, directed by Professor William Graves. The Field School will be located in the Salinas district of central New Mexico, located east of the Rio Grande and southeast of Albuquerque. The major field site, Abó Pueblo, is located 10 miles west of the town of Mountainair. Abó Pueblo is part of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.

    Undergraduate and graduate students will receive training in archaeological field methods, focusing particularly on excavation and mapping. Students will also learn artifact recording and analyses while actively participating in a long-term research study of the late prehispanic and early colonial periods in the Salinas district.

    Along with essential methodological skills, the Field School emphasizes the construction of research strategies that are effective in addressing questions of broad anthropological relevance. Fieldwork will be integrated with lectures on archaeological methodology and the prehispanic and early colonial periods of the Pueblo Southwest as well as occasional weekend field trips to archaeological sites in the area.

    The Field School will be conducted in partnership with the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. A proportion of the students time and effort will be spent working on projects of interest to the Monument staff, including ruins stabilization, site mitigation work, curation, and interpretive work. Thus, the Field School will provide an excellent introduction to cultural resource management activities and archaeology within a governmental agency. Since, the majority of job opportunities in archaeology in North America are within the field of cultural resource management, this experience will be of particular value to students of the program.

    The Field School enrolls students with a variety of backgrounds, and we expect the majority of students will be contemplating a career in anthropology or archaeology. Applications from students from historically underrepresented groups in anthropology are strongly encouraged. Graduate students will conduct a small, original research project based on data recovered from the summer s work.


    Research Program


    The Field School project is part of a multi-year research program investigating the late prehispanic (A.D. 1300 to 1598) and early colonial period (A.D. 1598 to the 1670s) Puebloan occupation of the Salinas district. In particular, we will focus on investigations at Abó Pueblo. Abó is one of nine large, late prehispanic and early colonial period pueblo villages of the Salinas district and was occupied from A.D. 1300 to 1675.

    The ruins of a seventeenth century Franciscan mission, San Gregorio, are located at the site. The pueblo is situated in Abó Pass, the major east-west passageway connecting the Salinas district pueblos with the rest of the Pueblo world. Through a program of excavation and mapping, the Field School aims at reconstructing the political-economic history of the Pueblo of Abó, and understanding this village s relationships with the rest of the Salinas district and the larger Pueblo world of which it was a part. From previous research on other Pueblo village sites in the district, and given the strategic location of Abó within Abó Pass, it appears likely that Abó would have held a position of prominence in the larger Salinas district. Such prominence may have been due in large part to the involvement in economic activities by the inhabitants of Abó, such as the procurement of items through long-distance exchange and the production and distribution of socially valuable decorated pottery. Both activities would have l

    The project will offer an unparalleled look into the social and political-economic history of a particular settlement and region of the ancient Pueblo world. In doing so, the research will contribute significantly to our understanding of sociopolitical developments in the ancient Pueblo Southwest as well as to our understanding of such processes in small-scale, non-state societies more generally.


    Director and Staff


    The Field School is directed by Dr. William Graves, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at The University of Iowa. He will be assisted by three experienced graduate student field crew chiefs. We anticipate a student-to-staff ratio of approximately 4:1, ensuring that students will receive a great deal of individual attention and training.

    The Field School is a joint project between Dr. Graves at The University of Iowa and Dr. Michael Wilcox of Stanford University. Dr. Wilcox and several Stanford students will join us for the duration of the field season.


    Field Camp and Atmosphere


    The field camp is located in the small town of Mountainair. Our facilities will include kitchen, bathroom, and laboratory space. Students sleep in tents and must provide their own tent, camping equipment, and toiletries. A camp cook will prepare meals. The setting is beautiful and somewhat remote. At an elevation of 6,500 feet, the area has warm days and cool nights.


    Application and Enrollment


    The Field School lasts six weeks, from June 13 to July 23, 2005. Enrollment is open to undergraduate and graduate students. Students should have had at least one course in either anthropology or archaeology and be in good physical condition. Students must register for 6 semester hours of graduate or undergraduate credit through The University of Iowa. The fee is $2,200, which includes the cost of tuition, supplies, housing, food, and transportation while in the field.

    Application forms are available at:
    http://www.uiowa.edu/~anthro/fieldschools/newmexico.htm

    - Geoarchaeology
    - Culture, class and gender in archaeology
    - Cultural resource management - 90% of the archaeological job market
    - Site set-up
    - Settlement archaeology
    - Mapping via Global Positioning Systems, Total Mapping Station, Geographic Information Systems, and more traditional methods
    - Architectural history

    Of course, we also cover more traditional aspects of archaeological studies such as:
    - Excavation techniques
    - Ground reconnaissance and intensive survey
    - Field work documentation
    - Field photography
    - Cataloguing, processing and analysis

    The New Jersey Historic Archaeology Field School focuses on the cultural landscape and archaeological remains of Union County s Deserted Village - a national register of historic places district nestled within the picturesque Watchung Mountains. The project has generated a long list of scholarly publications by staff and students, and is internationally recognized as a cutting-edge example of a growing trend in historical archaeology focusing on utopian and alternative communities of the 19th century. In 2005, the New Jersey field school will concentrate on completing the excavation of the 18th - mid - 19th century David Felt House, and continuing to explore, map and test poorly known areas of the village. Students provide their own transportation to and from the site every day, and their own
    living arrangements.

    Professor Tomaso s staff brings a very broad knowledge-base and range of interests and experience to students. Lunch-time lectures and activities on subjects ranging from flint-knapping to the archaeology of the African diaspora help to enrich the field experience at this beautiful and artifact-rich site. Located within driving distance of MSU, students conduct lab work in the CFAS laboratory.

    The 2005 Hofstra field school is researching the archaeology of slavery and freedom at the King Manor Site in Jamaica, Queens. Looking for signs of both domination and resistance, we are investigating how these different systems are evident in the artifacts created by household labor. The King Manor site is ideal for this investigation. Its original occupants, the Colgan-Smith family, were s l ave owners in the 18th century. The site was then obtained by Rufus King, a prominent early American politician, known especially for his stance against slavery in the early 19th century. King practiced this belief by using free laborers at his home. Comparing these two households sheds light on the everyday experiences of slavery and freedom that marked the working lives of early Americans living in New York.

    King Manor is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of New York City's historic house trust. It has been operating as a historic house museum since 1900. The 2005 excavations will be a part of the public interpretation of the King Manor Museum. Students taking the field school will be trained to give site tours, work with the museum's sixth-grade history camp, and reflexively explore their own role in the site's commemoration.

    COURSE DESCRIPTION

    Students will take part in an intensive, hands-on introduction to archaeological field research that provides a foundation in the techniques of archaeological site survey, field excavation and recording, and artifact analysis. The course runs 40 hours a week and involves strenuous daily outdoor activities. Participants must provide their own transportation to the site.

    Field School Description:

    Castle Gardens is a prehistoric site that contains a rich trash midden, layers of Late Archaic artifacts, and features, such as hearths. Researchers identified a new phase, Vestal (c. 2000 B.C.), based on this site. Vestal marks a time when people moved their camps seasonally and hunted, fished, and collected wild plants. The 2003 field school recovered an abundance of artifacts as well as cooking hearths, pit features, and the midden. The 2004 field school will examine the site in more detail.

    The class will introduce students to the basic methods of professional field archaeology. Students will receive training in basic field and recording methods. Participants will also interact with the local community during site tours and public programs. Formal lectures, scheduled for rain days, will provide background on the prehistory of eastern North America.

    The curriculum is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge and techniques necessary to secure future employment in the field of Cultural Resource Management (CRM), which a specialized branch of archaeology that works within the context of historic preservation and environmental legislation. Students who successfully complete this field course will be qualified for entry-level positions with companies that specialize in CRM. A limited number of positions will also be available through the Public Archaeology Facility at Binghamton University.

    On-campus housing and a summer meal plan are available through Binghamton University. The University will provide daily transportation between Binghamton and the site, located about 20 minutes from campus.

    Field School Description: St. John Fisher College is offering a summer field school opportunity at the Dixon Hollow site in Hemlock, New York (approximately 30 miles south of Rochester). This site was a middle 19th early 20th century village situated along the Canadice Outlet. The village was occupied by a small number of residents over that time period and was abandoned completely by 1920 after residents sold their land to the City of Rochester. The upcoming field season will focus on 2 residences and a mill which was used to manufacture wool and butter tubs, among other things. Students will have an opportunity to learn surveying, excavation and some lab techniques as well as explore the broader cultural context of the site through field trips to area historical sites. This is only our second year at Dixon Hollow and there are other areas to explore through surveying and subsurface testing in addition to broader excavation.

    Field school web site: www.sjfc.edu
    Field School Size: 1-15
    Minimum age: 18

    Prior experience requirements: No experience or coursework required, but an introductory course is archaeology is recommended

    Specialized skills students will have the opportunity to learn

  • Manual Mapping/drawing (plan views, profiles): Yes

  • Additional information about optional fields: There is a possibility of a weekend fieldtrip (optional) over Memorial Day weekend to see some Ohio Hopewell sites near Chillicothe, Ohio. On rain days, we will also go around to some local historic sites so students can get a picture of how Dixon Hollow fits into the larger cultural context of the time.

    Tuition & Credit
  • Academic Credit: Yes
  • Number of Credits: 3
  • Tuition: $500/credit
  • Institution offering credit: St. John Fisher College
  • Room and Board Information: Unfortunately, Fisher does not offer housing for summer courses. Consequently, off-campus housing must be secured. We will be securing a residence for students either in Lakeville, in a lakeside cottage, or in Geneseo, in a rented house/apartment. Both are optimal places due to their proximity to the site and major highways and the availability of seasonal/student housing. Depending on what we are able to find, the cost could range anywhere from $50 to $300 for the three weeks. Both places would have a kitchen for preparing food. Students should register as soon as possible so that we know how large a house we need. It would be helpful to let me know ASAP if you re planning on registering so I can have an idea of how many students need housing. Transportation must be provided by the student; however, there should be enough students with cars so that getting to and from the site on a daily basis isn t a problem.

    Field School Description:

    The 2005 field season marks the third year of cooperative archaeological investigations on Fort Hood, Texas, by Mercyhurst College, Mercyhurst Archaeological Institute, and the U.S. Army, as well as, the third season of investigation at 41CV115(A).

    This site is a large, dry, stratified rockshelter with a total area protected by the extant overhang is ca. 89.36 sq. m. and broad talus slope.

    Recorded in 1976, formal archaeological testing did not occur until 1994. This testing revealed at least one meter of deposits with a complex depositional history, as reflected by the stratigraphy.

    Remote sensing conducted at the site as part of the current research indicates no historic disturbance.

    The 2004 field season witnessed the initial excavation which began on the "western" talus slope and proceeded into the rockshelter's interior. A total of 9 sq. m. were excavated to varying depths. Five strata and one cultural feature were identified.

    Preliminary processing of the material culture remains recovered has begun. Unfortunately no quantitative data has yet been compiled for these remains, which consist of: miscellaneous historic artifacts; prehistoric flaked stone; invertebrate faunal remains (predominantly land snail); and limited vertebrate faunal remains. It can be estimated, however, that several thousand flaked stone artifacts were recovered. Among those artifacts are numerous pieces of unmodified flaked stone debitage, 15 multidirectional cores, two discoidal bifacial cores, and several flake tools.

    The 2005 field season will see a continuation of excavation. Students will be instructed in a broad variety of techniques employed in contemporary archaeological investigations, with the focus on mapping and excavation.

    We will camp in the ranch complex. Due to the efforts of the diligent US telecommunications industry, cellular phones now sometimes work at the Refuge and, when they don't, the Refuge has a microwave telecommunications link for emergencies. Cellular phones do not work in Range Creek Canyon, although in emergencies we hope to have outside communication through the grid of Bureau of Land Management repeaters. For safety reasons, students are discouraged from bringing personal vehicles to the field.

    The course will consist of four 10-day work sessions separated by 4-day breaks. One or two vehicles will return to Salt Lake City at the beginning of each break; students have the option of staying in camp or going to Salt Lake City. Students choosing to remain in camp will be responsible for their own food and general camp management during the breaks. On the Saturday afternoon in the middle of each session at Range Creek, students will have the option of going to the town of Price to wash clothes and purchase personal items.

    The weather in Utah's Colorado Plateau is unpredictable and can change dramatically without notice. In general, expect hot days and cool nights, and dry weather punctuated by afternoon thunderstorms. This field season is sufficiently late that insects should not be a major problem, but students should be alert for rattlesnakes and black bears. The major problems are likely to be sunburn, dehydration and sore muscles. Keep in mind that this is a field school working out of field camps: storms can blow down tents, flood sites and camps; vehicles may break down or get stuck; and medical facilities are often distant. Much of the success or failure of a field season is a function of everyone cheerfully pitching in to overcome the adversities that are guaranteed to arise.

    MRP NOW PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXCAVATE IN PERU
    Session 1: July 16th-July 31st
    Session 2: July 31st-August 13th

    During the summer of 2004 the Maya Research Program completed a trial excavation activity in Peru. It was such a success that it has been added to MRP s array of annual programs. Participation is available to students, and volunteers who have participated in the Blue Creek, Belize, program for at least one session.

    Dr. Guderjan reports that this past summer, a group of MRP members were able spend two weeks assisting with an excavation of the Moche site of San Jose de Moro in northern Peru. The San Jose project is more than a decade old and is directed by Luis Jaime Castillo of the Ponticia Universidad Catholica del Peru in Lima. San Jose is in the equatorial desert, only a few miles from the coast. But, since it was winter in northern Peru, the temperatures were almost like being in air conditioning. And as it was so dry the preservation was incredible (What do you mean?? You find textiles all of the time? Actually, yes.). A report of the Peru Project's 2004 field season is available in our website (archives section).

    Adding to the entire experience was Luis Jaime s talented staff from Peru, the US, France and Spain. While the MRP volunteers stayed in a small hotel near the town of Chepen, our two students, Theresa Curtzinger and Adam Thompson, stayed in the project s houses in town. Like MRP, the San Jose project works to support the local community. Our final afternoon was a party in honor of the restrooms built for the local school and funded by MRP and our friends at Far Horizons Tours.

    Colleen Hanratty-Guderjan has committed to three years of helping with the new excavations at Pampa Grande, a late Moche center. So we expect that MRP members who have previous experience at Blue Creek will continue to have opportunities in Peru.

    Contact Colleen Hanratty-Guderjan at CCHanrattyl@... or MRP@... for further information.

    The Yaxunah Anthropology Program

    Sunday, June 19 through Saturday, July 2, 2005

    This is a rare opportunity to live and learn in the traditional Maya village of Yaxunah in the Yucatan. MRP joins TCU in supporting this program, led by Cultural Anthropologist, Grace Bascopé, who has worked in the community for more than a decade. Each student will have an opportunity to practice a number of Ethnographic methodologies while participating in volunteer work with the young people of Yaxunah. Additionally, participants will learn about the archaeological ruins of Yaxunah and the ruins of the colonial hacienda Ketel-ak, both of which are located on the village communal lands. There will also be side trips to Chichén Itzá, Yaxcaba, Chan Kom, and other points of interest.

    The program will have limited participation because of the nature of the lodging - a tiny, but comfortable and attractive, eco-tourist hotel that the villagers themselves created out of the archaeologists old field camp. We can take only eight participants, and priority will be given to TCU students. Otherwise, participation will be limited to those who have already volunteered at Blue Creek, or are approved by the instructor. Little English is spoken by the Maya so some proficiency in Spanish is also necessary. The deadline for applications is May 10, 2005. That is also the deadline for TCU students to register for Summer School. You will be notified promptly regarding acceptance. If you are interested in being a Yaxunah Ethnographic Field Experience Volunteer, please contact our office at (817) 257-5943 or e-mail us at gbascopel@... You may also submit the application form, but since this program has specific qualifications it may be wise to talk to Grace before applying. A limited num

    Field School Description:

    The Pambamarca Archaeological Project is investigating the sequence of occupation and activity at the Pambamarca pucaraes (fortresses) in highland Ecuador, an hour north of Quito. Located on and around the equatorial line, our work concentrates on mapping and excavating structures inside the forts. Probably because of its critical geographic location along a main route to the Amazon basin, the Pambamarca zone contains the largest concentration of prehispanic forts in the New World. Previous years of investigation by our project have shown that there are two types of fortresses, intrusive Inka and local indigenous Cayambe, and that the fortresses are arranged along either side of a bitterly contested frontier. There is evidence for warfare everywhere. At many of the fortresses we have found caches of stones used for pelting the enemy.
    Our work in 2005 will continue researching these amazing fortresses. Our aim is uncover the differences between the Inka and Cayambe warfare tactics, and identify the remnants of Inca roads. What made the Cayambe very successful at resisting the Inka when the rest of South American fell so quickly? The two decade period of resistance is exceptionally interesting anthropologically, especially as we try to make sense of increasing resistance to globalization in our own times. Students will partake in all aspects of the research program, from excavating and laboratory processing to remote sensing, GIS, and reconsolidation of ruins. Additionally, students will conduct ethnoarchaeological projects aimed at connecting current day behaviors to the material record of the past.
    We are a short ride to the town of Cayambe, and a little over an hour from Quito on the weekends. Also, the world famous artisans and market of Otavalo are located only an hour to the north. Buses are cheap and direct. For the truly adventurous the headwaters of the Amazon, the majestic Pacific coastline, and even the Galapagos Islands are a short plane trip away. Ecuador is a truly remarkable place, and we are excited to share its wonders with you, and meanwhile do some really interesting archaeology!

    University, Company, Institution: St. Eustatius Center for ArchaeologicalResearch (SECAR)
    Field School location :Oranjestad, St. Eustatius (Statia) Netherlands Antilles (Dutch West Indies)

  • Excavation: Yes
  • Survey: Yes
  • Historic: Yes
  • Period: 1629-1900

  • Short walk to site: Yes
  • Project Director:

    The Director of SECAR is Dr. R. Grant Gilmore III, RPA, AIFA, and Island Archaeologist employed by the St. Eustatius Island Government.

    Field School Description:

    The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research aims to provide the most rewarding Colonial period field school experience in the West Indies. SECAR runs continuous field schools from January to August. During the autumn (hurricane season) we operate artefact processing, cataloguing and conservation lab experiences. The course of fieldwork training that you receive on St. Eustatius is based upon extensive hands-on archaeological skills development. You will learn or improve upon all aspects of excavation including: digging, sifting, photography, surveying, drawing, and artefact processing. An Excavation Experience on Statia will truly take you back in time. Island life remains relatively untouched by commercial development. The clear Caribbean or blue Atlantic is within sight of most excavation sites. Participants are encouraged to immerse themselves in local culture and cuisine, enjoy the spectacular diving and explore the National Parks, including the rainforest in th

    St. Eustatius was the primary transhipment center between Europe, the West Indies and the Americas between 1770 and 1800. For much of the American Revolution, Holland and France supplied US forces with much needed arms and ammunition through this port. Finally, the existence of the United States was first recognized by a foreign power here in November 1776 when a salute was fired to the USS Andrew Doria.

    Although the island is only 7 km by 5 km (5 miles by 2 miles), there are over 90 plantation sites, 300 warehouse ruins, 6 church sites, numerous urban domestic and commercial structures (houses, taverns, brothels, stores, printing presses etc), 20+ fortifications, and an estimated 200+ shipwrecks located on and around the island. As a result, the island is considered to have the densest concentration of colonial period artefacts for any location of comparable size anywhere in the world. Also, pre-historic sites are some of the best preserved in the Caribbean. A wide range of archaeological projects have been undertaken since 1979 by the College of William and Mary (USA), Leiden University (The Netherlands), and the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UK). The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR) has been established on the island as a permanent research facility designed to permit a continuous excavation program during the entire year. Negotiations are currently ongoing w

    Recent projects have included examination of two sugar plantations (English Quarter and the Pleasures Plantation Estate), a military fortification (Battery St. Louis), two urban colonial residences, and the first paleopathological study of a leper asylum anywhere in the New World. Similar projects are ongoing. Underwater archaeological programs are under development.

    Fees, which go towards building and vehicle maintenance and staff salaries, are on a sliding scale beginning at $500 for the first week going down to $100 per week after four weeks.

    Univ.Doz.Dr. Jasmine Dum-Tragut (Armen. Philologist)

    Field School Description:

    The archaeological site Aramus is located about 10 km northeast of Erevan, Armenia. The site consists of a lower town and a fortified acropolis, dating mainly from Urartian and Achaemenid times. Earlier excavations at the acropolis took place in the eighties by Hayk Avertisyan; In autumn 2004 started the excavations of the University of Innsbruck.

    The historical period between the end of the seventh and the end of the sixth century may be called the Dark Ages in the history of a vast area which comprises the region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Since no written records exist for these centuries, further insights can only be gained through archaeological research.

    Aramus is one of the most promising sites in this respect, since earlier research has already uncovered Urartian and Achaemenid layers. Moreover the research focuses on early Armenian history since the lower town has revealed remnants of Armenian churches dating between the fifth and seventh centuries A.D.

    Paul Belford, Senior Archaeologist, Ironbridge Archaeology (Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust)

    Ronald A. Ross, Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

    Field School Description:

    In 1709 Abraham Darby of Coalbrookdale became the first person to successfully smelt iron with mineral fuels (coke/coal). Because of this, the Ironbridge Gorge is often referred to as the birthplace of the industrial revolution. Until recently, historical and archaeological research focussed almost entirely on the iron industry. The CHART programme is looking at other industries, at industry before Darby, and at the social history and archaeology of the valley.

    >From 2001 to 2004 we have excavated at the Upper Forge, uncovering the oldest archaeologically known steel furnace (cementation furnace) in the world (1620-1640), evidence for malt making (1720? to 1820?), lead working, and other small scale industries, and workers housing and gardens. In 2005 we will further examine the steel furnace, and expect to find the other early steel furnace recorded for the site. There will also be continued examination of other industries, as well as further investigation of the social archaeology of the workers' houses. We will also be excavating the mill pond, which is likely to be medieval in origin.

    Field School Description:

    Changes in the Cypriot Aceramic Neolithic record now show the island as a key environment integral to the spread of farming in the Old World. At present, however, a 'gap' exists for c. 2,000 years between the the earliest known occupation at Akrotiri-Aetokremnos and the Early Aceramic Neolithic. It is thus entirely unclear whether Cyprus was occupied from the beginning of the Holocene onwards or settled during the Aceramic Neolithic after a period of abandonment. This period remains unexplored due to the lack of attention to the wider island landscape likely to have been attractive to early foragers, and this project seeks to address this oversight. In order to test for currently illusive occupation evidence belonging to the 10th-9th millennium BC, the project will begin with a systematic investigation of lithic scatter sites along the foothill boundary of the Troodos Mountains in environmental niches likely to have supported foragers. Fieldwork in July 2005 will focus on condu

    Field School Description

    The Pompeii Food and Drink project purpose is to study, identify, and document all the excavated structures within and outside the walls of the city of Pompeii, destroyed by Vesuvius in AD 79. The focus of our research is rooms, spaces, and structural and material objects that are associated with food and drink. We perform a non-invasive study of all structures associated with the storage, distribution, processing, preparation, serving, and consumption of food and drink. Upon completing the analysis and documentation, we will identify any patterns of daily life associated with food and drink in Pompeii
    We have documented about one-third of the 157 acres of the city—great and small houses; villas outside the walls; shops; bars; restaurants; temples; baths; public market; tombs outside the walls with masonry tables for funeral banquets; and vineyards within the city where cups of wine were served to customers. Evidence of food and drink is everywhere within and outside the walls. We will work this summer in structures around the oldest forum and the theaters, as well as along one major thoroughfare.

    Volunteers are taught skills and work under the direction of experienced researchers. Work is carried out in the ancient city for about four hours each day and back at the motel for two hours.

    Cooperativa Archeologica "Le Orme dell'Uomo"

    Dates: July 18 - August 8, 2005

    ARCHAEOLOGY FIELDWORK
    PASPARDO - Valcamonica - Italy

    The Footsteps of Man Archaeological Cooperative Society is based in Valcamonica, an alpine valley comprised between the province of Bergamo and Brescia in Northern Italy, where rock art constitutes an archaeological, artistic, Ethnographic and historical patrimony of inestimable value, not only for its antiquity but, above all, for the thematic and iconographic wealth. The rupestrian tradition of Valcamonica consists of about three hundred thousands engraved figures mainly located in open air and on flat rocks. The art is distributed across five fundamental periods from Palaeolithic to the arrival of the Romans in the valley.

    As an active rock art centre, member of IFRAO (International Federation of Rock Art Organizations), the Footsteps of Man organizes its annual archaeology fieldwork at Paspardo, one of the major area with engravings concentration, giving the opportunity to those interested (archaeologists and scholars, students and enthusiasts) to help the research and the study of the rock art of Valcamonica.

    The project participants will: survey, excavate, clean, photograph, draw and catalogue the rocks engraved in three main sites at Paspardo, Valcamonica: Dos Sulif, In Valle, La Volp.

    The project consists of different phases, some are made on the sites, some in the laboratory:
    • researches on the sites: surveys for finding new engraved rocks; analysis of the damages of the rock surfaces and conservation problems; excavation; drawing of the engravings with permanent pens on plastic sheets; photographs;
    • in laboratory: reduction of the drawings in scale size and catalogue of the engravings.

    Participants usually come from different countries of the world, official languages are English and Italian.

    In Paspardo the accommodation is provided in houses with rooms, dormitories, showers and kitchen.

    End Date: 10/30/2005

    Fernando Contreras (Director)
    Ecomuseo de Cap de Cavalleria

    Field School Description:

    The Romans first arrived on Menorca in the year 123 B.C. when the Roman army conquered the Balearic islands. For 600 years more, Menorca would form a part of the immense Roman empire. On the island they formed three Roman cities. Of those cities, Sanisera (the archaeological site) was built around the port of Sanitja in the northernmost part of the island. The city flourished due to the heavy maritime commercial industry that received boats going from Spain to Italy and from France to Africa. The impressiveness of Sanisera can be appreciated in the present by the quantity and quality of the amphoras and other roman artifacts that have been found in recent excavations. Sanisera is situated on the spectacular natural reserve of the Ecomuseum de Cap de Cavalleria. During 1996 to 1998, over 400 students participated in international courses on archaeological excavation.

    The excavation will be situated in a Roman fort (123 B.C. - 50 B.C.), investigating the buildings and artifacts of the soldier s provisions stockrooms and living quarters. Students will learn and gain experience in excavation applying the laws of archaeological stratigraphy using the Harris Matrix. Various instruments and tools will be used to record stratigraphy and document the plans and photographs of the excavation. In the museum laboratory, students will process excavated material and will be trained in the basic techniques of artifact recording, focusing on roman pottery, such as amphoras. In addition to the daily excavation and laboratory work, students will also participate in conferences on methodology and roman archaeology, and will visit other museums and archaeological sites on the island. Courses will be given in English and Spanish.

    SITE DESCRIPTION:
    Canyon De Chelly National Monument, located in the Four Corners
    Region of the southwest, preserves an archeological record which
    reveals one of the longest continually inhabited landscapes of North
    America. The cultural resources of the canyon, including distinctive
    architecture, artifacts, and rock imagery, exhibit remarkable
    preservational integrity that provides outstanding opportunities for
    study. The archeological record also shows the intimate connection
    between landscape and ancestral American Indian communities of the
    Colorado Plateau. This connection illustrates the possibilities and
    limits of the canyon environment while at the same time expressing
    the creative ability of successive ancestral communities to mold and
    shape social space over thousands of years. Today, Canyon De Chelly
    is unique among NPS units, as it is comprised entirely of Navajo
    Nation Tribal Trust Land that remains home to a large canyon
    community. The NPS and Navajo Nation work in partnership to manage
    park resources and sustain the living community of Canyon De Chelly.

    resources may be developed independently for the Interpretive
    division.  There will be numerous opportunities to explore the
    canyon on your own time and join the park archeologists for trips to
    neighboring parks and archeological sites. American Indian events

    Hi Folks,
    
    Just an FYI.   This posting just seemed too good of an opportunity to be
    true. So I asked the Production Manager Haley to jump through a few
    hoops to demonstrate to my, and Jim Colburn's (one of your moderators)
    satisfaction the veracity of this posting.  Haley kept up great spirits
    over the course of the day so I am very happy to share what is an
    unusual opportunity for any of us.
    
    My only request is that you follow the specifics of what Haley requests
    here in your application and not pester her with questions, comments,
    lengthy opinion pieces , etc...  Haley, like many of us, is on contract
    (the film industry is actually a lot like CRM archaeology - a small
    percentage of full time employees and a large pool of contractors).  As
    a result she is under the all to familiar time crunch and budget
    limitations we all experience, so please respect that.  Note that  this
    is a different field so use the business model of a formal cover letter,
    vita/resume, etc...  no "me name grog.  me pretty like daisy in spring
    but no archaeology experience, but I own a fedora.  here is a picture I
    pulled off the Internet of what I wish I looked like"...  you get my drift.
    
    So enough of my band standing, I hope you are able to join my old bud
    Cameron (he's 'JC to me and the homies) and I on this project - ok thats
    last bit might be a crock ;-)

    Please post or forward the following to any other additional archaeology
    mailing lists/Bulletin Boards you belong to.  Shovel Bums is currently
    the only list this is being announced on and they would like a broad
    distribution.
    
    *Subject:* TITANIC - Opportunity of a Lifetime
    
    Looking for a few archaeologists for the opportunity of a lifetime.
    
    James Cameron will be broadcasting live from the Titanic on Sunday,
    July 24, 2005 on the Discovery Channel. Not only will we be pushing
    the limits of modern technology to broadcast live from the Mir
    submersibles; we will be using smaller, nimbler, second generation
    ROV's to penetrate the wreck deeper than any previous mission.
    
    During our expedition, we will be combining new interior footage
    with prior interior survey footage, to create a composite database
    of the layout of the wreck, position of furniture and artifacts, and
    to recreate exactly the interior marine architecture of the Titanic
    for the first time. We would like to encourage the selected
    archaeologists to participate, not just as recipients of the data,
    but in instructing us in proper data and image acquisition, and in
    helping us to generate the integrated data products, such as floor
    diagrams, grids and CG models, which can have long term archival
    value.
    
    The story we intend to tell is largely archaeological and the legacy
    of this project are the images we bring back. Simply, Titanic is
