Hey! Sorry about the mis-forwarding of the UWF position  
announcement... A little additional advertising for them.  As a  
restorative, I've sent out our position announcement again in this  
note.  Several people emailed me to ask, so I should point out that  
this is not a replacement for me.  This job is to fill the line for  
which we interviewed candidates in 2002-3, but lost temporarily due  
to budget cuts.  The line has been restored and we now expect to  
bring another archaeologist to join the IA faculty at Michigan Tech  
in conjunction with our new Ph.D. in Industrial Heritage and  
Archaeology.
Best,
Tim
