Seymour Valley Archaeology Project

Bob Muckle has directed the Seymour Valley Archaeology Project since 2000, when the first field season began and field work has continued for seven weeks every summer since.
The project is community-oriented, focusing on early 20^th century logging camps and small residential settlements in a heavily forested area close to Capilano College.
Most of the fieldwork is undertaken by college students participating in the college field school. Volunteers from the larger local community also participate.
Articles on the project have appeared in Teaching Anthropology: SACC Notes (i.e. ‘Community Archaeology in the Seymour Valley, British Columbia: A Joint Initiative of Capilano College and the Greater Vancouver Regional District,’ vol 9, no. 1, 2002, by Robert Muckle; and ‘Community Archaeology in the Seymour Valley, British Columbia: Education, Research, and Heritage Management’ by Kimberly Biddlecombe, Meridith Beck Sayre, and Casey McLaughlin, vol 10, no. 1, 2003)
Other fieldwork projects have involved working on prehistoric shell midden sites in British Columbia and Alaska, and the survey and excavation both prehistoric and historic sites in African and the interior of western Canada.

Archaeological Technology Program

Cabrillo College
Aptos, California
http://www.cabrillo.edu/academics/archtech/

Contact: Rob Edwards at redwards@cabrillo.edu

The Archaeological Technology Program was established in the early 1990s by Rob Edwards to train entry level workers for archaeological agencies and Cultural Resource Management firms. This Program has a near perfect job access record for students. It transfers a high number of students to four-year schools and accepts reverse transfer students from those schools.
Summer Field Work is the heart of the Archaeological Technology Program with a series of three week courses, starting with Survey in June and continuing with Excavation in July and Laboratory in August.
In the fall semester, introductory courses on Federal and State Laws and Regulations are offered on alternate weekends. In the spring semester, a Research/Data Management course and a course on how to get a job in the field are offered again on alternate weekends.
The college offers fall semester courses on American Indians and has a major service learning component involving various local Indian activities. A student anthropology/archaeology club (currently named “dig it”) is active on campus, raising funds for scholarships and volunteering locally and on professional conferences.
