Wanted: Field Archaeologists

 

Wapsi Valley Archaeology, Inc., everyone’s favorite locally-owned, non-conglomerate, employee-friendly CRM firm, is now accepting applications for Field Archaeologists (at Field Technician, Crew Chief, or Project Archaeologist levels) to assist with spring, summer, and fall field projects. Our main office is in Anamosa, Iowa, and we have a second office in Rock Island, Illinois.

Type of Position: Seasonal/temporary; possibility for a permanent position if you are interested and can relocate to the vicinity of either office.

This position will involve interesting projects, in-the-dirt field archaeology, hard yet satisfying physical work, and all sorts of Midwestern crazy weather conditions. It may challenge you, but you will learn a lot about archaeology. It may also involve boat travel (so the ability to swim is good). Familiarity using GPS desired. Experience with the A-B-Cs of soil horizons would be wonderful. Let us know if you have other skills or areas of relevant expertise/specializations.
