(1) I'm Jennifer Palmer, currently working on a project for a CRM company in
western NY (rain day...thank god for internet in the hotel!). I've been
working as a field tech, crew chief, field director, and architectural
historian wannabe in CRM for the past 12 years, with projects in PA, NY, NJ,
DE, WV, SC, LA, FL, and AZ. I've mostly been a lurker on HISTARCH and a few
other e-lists, though I've learned quite a lot by lurking over the years.
My interests include the archaeology of infrastructure (incl.
transportation), industrial archaeology, and historic preservation. I'm
also the webmaster of archaeologyfieldwork.com.
(2) My dirtiest moment in the field, hands down, occured while excavating
human remains that hadn't entirely decomposed... 'nuff said.
(3) As far as archaeology field wear goes... I've seen a lot of people over
the years vying for the Indiana Jones look... But I prefer a good pair of
Cabela's Outfitter boots, any kind of pants with a lot of pockets (and the
trusty leatherman hanging from the belt), and a plain 'ol baseball cap (I
like wide-brimmed hats, but they seem to get knocked off my head walking
amongst branches during survey). Most of the shirts I've worn over the
years haven't held up very long to field abuse, but I'm a little partial to
shirts made my Ex Officio and Cabela's.
