shovelbums update
R. Joe Brandon
Folks,
I want to remind you all that shovelbums was not advertised as a discussion list. This list is simply for job announcements, rumors of where jobs are, queries of where jobs might be. To be fair to the majority of the subscribers please do NOT post generic questions to this list. Multiple case offenders will be removed at my discretion for the greater good of the list. Also remember this list is designed for professional practicing (or student) archaeologists looking for gainful employment, not amateurs or pot hunters. I would also like to discourage anyone from posting "I am qualified for X" postings, these postings which would be more suitable for shovelbums_gossip, not this list. When shovelbums.com is up finally I am hoping to have a section for people to do self promotion but this list is not the medium. I do understand folks desire to do those promotions though and do encourage you to set up a dialouge on shovelbums_gossip for such discussions. Sorry if this is a bit harsh, but as the list is new now is the time to set the rules that will guide it. I do not want to begin loosing subscribers becayse this list is not what it was advertised to be. This list has a very narrow focus for a good reason. If there are any comments on this policy please drop me a note off list at shovelbums@... Thanks for your time. R.

Re: Pipeline Project
Jacob Hopping
I have made two very strange finds in the woods in southeastern virginia.
both of which are stones..one white, one granite..the white stone is about 4"x10" and two connecting sides of it (one length side and one width side) have been filed down so their edges are smooth..the filing also made them at a roughly right angle to one another..the granite stone is triangular, with all of the sides filed down smoothly..it's obvious these are man made and not naturally occuring they were found within 150 yards of one another are these property markers? indian implements? tombstones? or what? anybody know?

Re: Digest Number 11
There are several contract companies in the Mid-Atlantic area that you can

Show quoted text
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! In a message dated 5/13/99 1:51:55 AM Pacific Daylight Time,

Re: A recent anthropology graduate and looking for jobs
Ken Stuart
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. -Ken Stuart -------------------------------------------------------- Ken Stuart (kstuart@...)

Re: new member of shovelbums...(me)
Kyle Kearney
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. --- Nectarkind@... wrote: From: Nectarkind@...------------------------------------------------------------------------ Looking to expand your world?------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join the shovelbums network at_________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

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.

new member of shovelbums...(me)
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 |
