Archiving two projects: Feminist archaeology and Between the Caves
Meg Conkey, Professor
Anthropology
Closed. This professor is continuing with Spring 2024 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Fall 2024.
We are trying to finalize a project that has been collecting documents related to the development of feminist and gender archaeology, and starting on a new archiving project related to the archaeological field project, Between the Caves, which took place in southern France to survey the landscape for Paleolithic archaeological materials.
Role: To finalize the feminist archaeology archiving, there will be some scanning of some documents to add to the 3+ boxes of organized materials that have been worked on and should be ready to be shipped off. But the more involved project will be to assist with the organization of documents related to the 13 year field survey project, Between the Caves, including recent inventories of materials collected ( some 24 boxes of artifacts now in storage in France), additional slide scanning for the database, and help writing profiles of project participants. A work space in my office is available and access to scanning or other activities will be provided.
Qualifications: An interest in anthropological and archaeological research, and even some knowledge, if possible, of how an archaeological project works. As well, organizational skills and Excel (for spreadsheets) as well as digital skills for scanning and organizing digitally. Ability to work independently as needed.
