Program Dates: June 18 to August 10, 2012
This eight-week internship will give a deserving Ohio college student the opportunity to receive specialized training in field archaeology and laboratory analysis through active participation in the Museum's research program in prehistoric archaeology. During the first five weeks of the program, the intern will assist Archaeology staff in the excavation of a prehistoric Native American settlement located near Milan in Erie County, Ohio and receive advanced instruction in all aspects of field research and flotation processing. Room, board, and per diem expenses during the five-week field season will be covered by the CMNH, if the intern lives beyond commuting distance. After returning from the field, the intern will participate in a three-week program of laboratory work at the Museum that will provide experience in the documentation and analysis of cultural remains (e.g., pottery, stone tools, bone tools, animal and plant remains, etc.) recovered during the field season. The intern is responsible for his/her own lodging and expenses during the three-week laboratory portion of the program. The project will conclude with a summary report of internship activities to be submitted to the Curator of Archaeology and the program sponsor. For his/her participation in the program, the intern will receive a total payment of $2,240 for the eight-week program. Preference will be given to applicants with some previous archaeological field experience.
