Montpelier Archaeology




The
Archaeology Department at James Madison’s Montpelier is looking to hire two fulltime
laboratory technicians to work through April 2017. We are currently excavating
an area of Montpelier known as the South Yard that contained three slave
quarters, two smoke houses, and an outdoor kitchen. During the tenure of this
position, laboratory technicians will be responsible for processing, analyzing,
and cataloging artifacts from the South Yard. In addition, Montpelier’s
Archaeology Lab is open to the public and laboratory technicians must be able
to engage with visitors and lead mini-lab tours. Experience working in
archaeological laboratories and knowledge of historic artifacts, particularly
ones dating to the 18th and 19th centuries, is essential
to this job. Experience in plantation archaeology, African American
archaeology, and/or public archaeology is preferred. Housing is available on the Montpelier property. Please visit the follow page for application information and make sure to attach a cover letter to your resume in a single pdf: https://www.montpelier.org/jobs
