I am looking for a graduate student interested in doing archaeo-botany 
for their Master's or Doctorate research.  I operate a field school at 
Fort Garland, Colorado for 6 weeks each summer.  Under the fort 
commissary, we have encountered a storage cellar that burned and was 
subsequently sealed with fill.  This past summer we recovered, in 
addition to other artifacts,  5 perfectly preserved onions, indicating 
that there were provisions in the cellar when it burned.  Since we 
believe most of the cellar has yet to be excavated, I would like to have 
someone on board, with or working on an expertise in plant remains.  
Because I am funded by a grant with a fixed budget for this season, I 
will not have funds for this position. However, I would seriously 
consider including funds both for an archaeo-botanist and for analysis 
in future budgets if this summer's results seem to warrant it.  Should 
someone be interested in working this summer with the field school, I 
would make all of the data available to them, and I would solicit their 
input concerning the research design.  Field dates this summer will be 
June 16 to July 23.  Further details about the site and the field school 
can be seen at:

email or conventional mail.
