The Montpelier Foundation is seeking applications for two full-time archaeological technician positions with benefits (health insurance, retirement, vacation, and sick leave). The position is provisionally for one year, with extension beyond this dependent upon the acquisition of further grants.

Over the next two seasons we will be conducting excavations at several early 19^th-century slave quarter sites.  The excavation and analysis of these sites is part of a larger NEH-funded project to examine the enslaved community at Montpelier and include an important teaching component with the research program (university field schools and multiple week-long adult training programs).  During these programs, staff will take an active role in teaching field school students and volunteers archaeological techniques while maintaining a rigorous work schedule and the highest standards of record keeping. 

Early 19^th-century Quarter for Enslaved Field Workers (2012 and 2013)

Excavation of a set of slave quarters below the Montpelier Visitor Center.  Similar to other slave quarters excavated at Montpelier over the past two years, these quarters were abandoned in 1844 but unlike the others were allowed to decay in place—resulting in an incredible array of abandonment strata and intact occupation strata.  In addition, this set of quarters has never been plowed.

Survey of Montpelier Property

We will be continuing surveys of the property looking for late-18^th and early-19^th-century plantation sites (slave quarters and work areas) as well as any other historic sites located on the property.   These investigations will involve Phase I and limited Phase II investigations.

For applications, please send a cover letter detailing your level of archaeological experience as it applies to 18th and 19^th-century archaeological sites and the identification of historical material culture, a resume, and a list of references.  Candidates must have a bachelors degree (BA, BS) in Anthropology or a related field, and be able to effectively communicate archaeological techniques to untrained volunteers, students, and visitors.  The successful candidate should also have participated in a recognized archaeological field school and have at least one to two years of experience in full-time archaeological field work.

Housing is available at Montpelier.  Salary is $12.00 per hour with a $1.00 per hour raise after a 6-month review. 

Applications need to be received by Feb 17^th, 2012, via mail, email or fax (with e-mail being the preferred method).  While this announcement may have a deadline, positions will be filled as suitable applicants are found.  Send applicable materials to Dr. Matthew Reeves, Director of Archaeology, Montpelier Foundation, P.O. Box 911, Orange, Virginia.  Dr. Reeves can also be reached on (540) 672-2728 extension 160, by fax at (540) 301-2843, or by email to mreeves@....  Electronic submission of application materials is recommended.
