Site Information:
The Game Creek site is one of the very few stratified sites in the Jackson Hole area of northwestern Wyoming. Occupations consist of a series of camp site situations with fire hearths, burned rock, butchered bone, and chipped stone tools and debitage. Ages range from 1000-10,000 years BP although most of this summers work will be in 1000-3000 year old deposits. The site is for an expansion of a highway with materials occurring in the highway right-of-way, and therefore also considerable highway traffic. Tents over the excavation units provide shelter from the sun and weather. Excavated fill is water screened through 1/8th inch mesh.

The most important aspect of this list is that it is for one purpose only.: announcing jobs/non paying volunteer postings in the international CRM field at all levels; Field Tech, Professors, SHPO's, etc... Caveat Emptor though my friends. Not all jobs pay the same, nor is their treatment of employees the same - as the companies are checking your references, you should also check them out - make sure they pay fair wages, treat their employees professionally, and do quality work. If you have at least a BA you deserve fair remuneration, so ask for it, and in turn you provide your employer with excellent service. You ARE a trained professional, NOT a "shovelbum" - the name is in jest - act professional, expect to be treated like one.
