Kira,
Go to the Society for Historical Archaeology web site <www.sha.org> and
check out the section on careers.  Also, there is a lot of info on the
American Anthropological Association website, including links to job/career
centers.  Their career/placement page is at
<www.ameranthassn.org/carplc.htm>.  Finally, you might want to look at the
American Studies Crossroads Pages.  The updating on this site is spotty,
but there is a lot of good info on this kind of thing (go to the
"Communities" section) <www.georgetown.edu/crossroads/index.html>.
 
Good Luck,
Mary Ellin D'Agostino
