The American Museum of Natural History is accepting applications for this year’s North American Archaeology Internship. Deadline, March 1st

The North American Archaeology Department of the American Museum of

Natural History offers Lab Researcher Internship positions in the North American

Archaeology Lab (NAARCH Lab) for undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate

students. The interns will handle, store, and analyze a wide variety of artifacts from

southeastern North America. Lab interns have the opportunity to work with faunal

remains, lithics, Native American and European ceramics, Spanish colonial artifacts, and

numerous other material types. Lab work typically consists of washing, cataloging, and

organizing recent collections as well as data management. Additional projects have

involved fine-grained sorting of excavated materials, photogrammetry and 3-D modeling

of artifacts, and basic level artifact analysis and documentation. In addition to lab work,

interns will also be considered for our ongoing fieldwork program in Georgia, USA

(offered only for the fall and spring semester). Our fieldwork package offers room and

board, transportation, and a monetary stipend for the duration of the trip, usually 2-3

weeks.
