Hi everyone,

For your convenience I have put together a printed version of the 2007
Comprehensive Archaeology Field School Directory.  I thought that it
might be handy for departments to have a printed copy to put in the
office or reading room for students to browse through.  It might also be
a nice thing to order and send to your parents to help bolster your case
for wanting to go to an archaeology field school :-)

The first edition is available at the link below.  I am initially
selling it for $19.94 which is only a $5 profit for my efforts in
pulling this together, so that seems pretty fair.  I would encourage you
to forward this link to the person responsible for making purchases for
your department.

http://www.cafepress.com/shovelbums.106467913

Like many things in an archaeologists dig kit, this book is not
particularly pretty.  But it is practical, and it gets the job done the
right way.  I sincerely hope you are able to find an Archaeology Field
School using the ShovelBums service.  If you find it the book useful I
would like to ask that you help to spread the word about it.  ShovelBums
is paid for completely out of pocket by myself and advertising is only
done by word of mouth among professionals.

And of course - all of the field schools are viewable online for free at
http://www.shovelbums.org

There is also time to still be included in the directory. There will be
an updated version of the e-mail directory going out in a few weeks to
cover new additions to the directory.

Best,

R. Joe
